    Could I?

    My 60L tank has cracked on one side where something fell over and hit it, Anyway it is slowly leaking. Coincidentally I had a new four foot tank delivered yesterday (Haven't filled it yet, just added the substrate). If I half filled this new tank with the water from my 60L and fresh water, ran...

    Turtle Help

    As a baby once a day, when he becomes adult every other day. I mix between pellets and bloodworm (sometimes throw in some krill). Bloodworm two or three times a week, and pellets on the others.

    Sounds good, got any pics? One of my Musk sits on the heater alot of the time, it seems to be his favourite place. The other loves climbing up and down plants and wood all day. How big is it?

    Just thought it must be pretty big for you to be worried about it eating a turtle. I'd say they will be fine. Have you got your turtle yet or have you ordered one?

    On no, I very highly doubt that. He'd probably take a chunk out of it if it tried.

    Turtle Help

    It's a hit and miss subject, mine are in with 9 fish and have never bothered them, but, they are turtles and turtles will eat fish given the chance. Mine seem to ignore them and stick to pellets, dried krill and bloodworm. By rule if you're fish are fast he won't catch them anyway.

    Cant help you out then, I'm Near Wigan. I'd go for it on the internet, if you think you're ready for them. Make sure the set-up is ready first though. Let us know what you decide. Good luck.

    People do, and if your at home to receive them I don't see why not. Where do you live? I payed £18.50 each from my LFS, I have two common musk. like these: http://www.exotic-pets.co.uk/common-musk-turtle.html I thought terrapins got bigger than that, but like I said, Im no expert. Adult...

    Turtle Help

    No expert but I think terrapins can get pretty big, if you're going with a 120L i really would just stick with musk turtles. Common, Razorback whatever size wise they are the most manageable. They are lively as well, so make good turtles to watch.

    Turtle Help

    I have it just over half so there is room to get out, I suppose if you fill the tank with branches etc for them to climb on and rest on with their heads out the water they will be fine. I have a UV bulb now, although it doesn't seem essential. I do about 15% water change twice a week, but it is...

    In a 120Ltre you could probably have a pair of musk turtles. I wouldn't know about the internet, I bought mine from the LFS. If you look here: http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/353719-musk-turtle-set-up/ it is my set up, people have comented on how to improve it, use it so when you set...

    musk turtles are really the only turtle I would keep in something that small. I have two. Research them, they're pretty fun.

    Fish Have Had Babies, How? When? New To This...

    guppies, they literally breed like rabbits, they can store sperm as well, so there doesn't necessarily have to be a male in the tank with the female.

    These our my first too, so Im very much the same. I've put vents in my lid because I hear too much humidity can be bad for them as well.

    Musk Turtle Set Up

    They all have proper different personalties, from more research the general consensus from people who have kept them a long time seems to be a UV tube and lots of branches coming out of the water to climb on is best (As Davo86 said) . I'm working on getting as much bogwood as possible for my...

    Musk Turtle Set Up

    Like I said, there is a basking dock, and their new tank will have plenty of wood and branches out of the water, it doesn't have to be a plastic station for them to bask. Sounds like yours is shy, mine tend to swim upto the front of the glass if I stand in front looking in. Got any pictures of...

    Musk Turtle Set Up

    The tank has a UV bulb in the lid already (have removed lamp now). As the pictures were taken they were catching blood worm and clinging on whilest eating. There will be more places for them to climb and rest soon as I have ordered 3 more pieces of bogwood, so hopefully that will help.

    Musk Turtle Set Up

    Thanks Davo86, In there next set up there will be no dock, just lots of bogwood and branches sticking up out of the water. There is lots of conflicting information about basking some say it's a must, some say it's a waste of time. So I thought I'll give them the opportunity while they are...

    Musk Turtle Set Up

    I have two, one of which likes floating around and doesn't appreciate swimming too much, but the other just loves having a swim. (Like all animals, they are individuals, some do like swimming and some don't). So I aim to start over on one side of the tank and make a graded drop in level, using...
