VID OF MY TANK

Very cool! I really like the turtle. I couldn't find a fly river turtle so I got an asian soft shell turtle that looks quite a bit like yours but mine is supposed to be too aggressive to put with other fishes (especially aros and rays). Have you had any problems with yours? Mine is still just a baby (1" across).
 
nice blue shine on the aro! how old is he? any signs of crossing? couldnt really tell from the video
 
carcrazy how big is your aro ?
as long as your aro cant swallow him it should be fine.
nope no signs of agression with my FRT, just a curious little guy nips on everything but as long as it's too fast for him to eat he'll just let em be.
 
I'd read that asian soft back turtles are the nasty ones when they get larger, biting fish that are even larger than themselves. I wasn't sure I wanted to risk my rays or my 10" aro with one. Although the rays (12" and 14" wide) are quite a bit bigger than the turtle is likely to get. I guess I'll have to wait and see, the turtle is much too small right now. He'd just be a snack for the aro or the pbass (also 12" and 14" long).

Soft shell turtles are sold as seafood to people here in TO
 
Yes, I know people make turtle soup out of them but they are also nice in the tank. People also eat pbass, they are considered to be a very good game fish. I hear even aros used to be on the menu.

As for price, my little turtle cost me $50 out here in the wilderness of Manitoba. He's too expensive to make soup out of. Man, I'm tired of these high prices compared to you guys!
