Folks- Saw a Fly River Turtle in the pet store yesterday, and have fallen in love. Unfortunately, the turtle was the owners personal pet, and not for sale at...
Matthew, I think it's brilliant and very commendable that you are taking the time to find out about FRTs before you get one. So many people (including myself...
Antony- All this question asking is paying off!:) Thank you for answering my questions. I'm currently emailing a gentleman here in California, who has a 5-6...
I have a friend who keeps soft-shelled turtles, and one of her turtles burnt its foot on the heater. It looked just like a human burn. It started out as a...
Thanks! Another way to prevent this is to set up an aquarium sump, where the water can be treated. A sump is basically a reserve basin that tank water is...
Hi, I got my FRT about 4 months ago, and I've been feeding it with wafer algae, all this while, and seems to love it. It won't take any other dry food except...
All FRTs will eat fish but mainly small fish like you are talking about if you have a large tank like you will need if you intend on keeping your FRT for life...

I am unsure of how a deionizer works in-line in a filter but deionizers typically produce very soft water which is not really the natural environment for...
Hi Steve: My water is indeed alkaline but I do have a water softener in the house which might be making the water less than ideal for the turtle. The deionizer...
Hi everyone, yes this species does need alkaline water, I generally recommend a pH of around 7.5 to 8.3, higher the better. I wrote an article on this which...
I will remove the deionizer then for a period of time and see if that helps a bit. It is weird because I have tested the pH on all the tanks after installing...
Hardness and alkalinity levels will not necessarily be reflected in you pH values. Alkalinity has a direct effect on pH but should still be tested separately....
