Turtle ID,

[david17]

please, can anyone identify this turtle species?

it for sale at a LPS, looks cool for a tank with P.Bass
¿Good idea to mix a turtle and Cichla on a 600 gallon pond/tank?

Common Snapper with half of it's tail missing.

And, by the way, not a good mix for any fish. Or anything else, really. Snappers are killers!

yes, after hearing snapper a picture of Steve Irwin with one came to my head they are to much of a monster for me, and grow too much...

You might consider giant musk turtles (Staurotypus species) as an alternative to snappers. They have a similar appearance but aren't quite as large or as fierce. They do eat fish, but I think they would be OK with large Cichla in a tank like you describe. I have seen them kept with various large catfish, cichlids, and characins at public aquariums.
