fly river turtles

[Dre]

Hi....

I was at the LFS today and they had a beautiful looking fly river
turtle in their tank with tropicals.

They advised me they have had it in there for a while and are VERY
confident you can keep it with cichlids no problems.

Does anyone do this or is this not the case?

it was around £150... and looked fantastic

i have done a bit of research on them and they *seem* to be ok with
ciclid water parameters....

any further info?????

Do any Aussies know how easy they are to buy back at home in Sydney
Australia?... im temporarily in London at the moment.

Thanks
Andre

never heard of the particular turtle here in brisbane, but you can get
plenty of "turtles" from the creek. they eat fish as far as I know..

Never seen a turtle in a pet shop in Sydney, or any part of NSW for that
matter. Not even sure if pet stores are allowed to sell them here.
