Saltwater or Freshwater

[coraline79]

I currently have one small 30 gallon saltwater setup w/ a 10 gallon sump, but I have 4 other freshwater aquariums, and I have to say I enjoy the saltwater more than all the others combined. I have been keeping freshwater for 20 years or so. My 60 gallon African Cichlid tank is the only one that I really enjoy other than the saltwater because it is really dificult to get teh right fish together so they don't constantly fight. Here is a pic of it:

No such thing as mini turtles. Baby turtles quickly become large turtles. I'd only consider keeping 1 turtle in a 100g.

you should go with brackish water they are awesome and their are some colorful ones

if you do saltwater a 4" sandbed will likely cause you nothing but heartache.

I'm glad someone spoke up about these so called "mini turtles". They get big, are messy and honestly shouldn't even be sold as pets cuz not very many people care for them right.

get a paludarium and some poison dart frogs, frogs are cool.

those mini turtles aka Red Ear sliders grow failry quickly and are messy.

you don't just have red ear sliders you could go with your musk turtles and won't grow any bigger than a palm about 4-5 inches but like any turtle messy

i think your best bet to find them are at reptile expos or alamo exotics.

i think im going to go with a paludarium tank. it mayb be a little pricey, but will be worth it in the end. im freaking starving so im gonna throw a munch then do a whole mess of reading. ill come back on later and let yall know what ive come up with as far as equipment, livestock, size of tank and prices. thanks for all the feed back, i didnt think so many would respond.
