My house.
Had this guy since he was a hatchling a little over a year ago. Most docile turtle I've ever kept with my fish which I find surprising as I know there vicious reputation. He doesn't even like to go after the minnows I feed occasionally as a treat. He much prefers to steal the massivore pellets from my Oscars or the tilapia from my wolves. Anyone else keeping softies with fish?

Congrats,I think a few people here keep softshells with fish but I can't remember who.
 
I have one in a 30 gallon with a few frontosas and a couple of cory kats - they seem to tolerate each other pretty well; hopefully it stays that way lol!
 
I bought one size of a quarter and kept it with my oscars vieja and bp till it got too big then i decided to give it a more appropriate home. But it was an awesome turtle never gave me troubles grew so big and was awesome to watch

I've kept softies with a few large SA cichlids it seems to work out sometimes I have about a 50/50 record with them. snappers are harder but the one in my profile works great with the convicts I have him with but anything bigger then 5 inches he loves to eat but he is just a weird. he even lets the convicts bite at his face and doesn't seem to care in the slightest lol
