  • nice big one, i got one in Beijing.it is popular in china now. how strong is the power of your filter?

  • @fuyou870624 Currently I have a very large wet dry on his 135gallon tank. The pump is rated at 950 gph at 0 feet and it is pushing it about 4' up.

  • It looks like there is not enough oxygen in the water to keep that fish alive long. Otherwise it would be down in the water instead of groping for air at the surface. Turtles are air breathing. No problem for them.

  • @wallacewithoutgromit yeah, this was in the old tank. I have since moved him into a much larger one with a wet dry filter that aerates the water much better than the old canister filter I had.

  • a alligater snapping turtle would mess this turtle up

  • @MegaOzozozoz however, both species are peaceful bottom dwellers and likely would not have much interaction with each other unless they were forced to in a confined space.

  • loll that was so funny the fish got eaten and then the pleco showed it self "Gah!! That was scary"

  • @JosephTurt425 no, as long as it is big enough for him to not be able to swallow, the fish are left alone.
