REEVES TURTLES HELP!!!

j85 Mar 14, 2010 10:22 PM

Want to get two of these also maybe two razor musks do they mix and get along fine? Plan on geting big tank minimum 55gallons(probably def bigger) and want to make it very lively. My main question is though what other aquatic animals can you keep TOGETHER to coexist with these turtles? Which breeds of fish? How bout crabs/crayfish? What types of algae eaters to keep it clean? I want some diversity in the tank you know, turtles/fish/crustaseans but which coexist?

i am actually keeping a yearling reeve's with 2 yearling razorback musks and a yearling eastern mud.the reeve's was doing really poorly when i kept it separate,and i tried it in the community setting out of desperation,and now it is thriving.one pointer,the reeve's grow much slower than the mud/musks.all in all,they get along great,although the mud is clearly the alpha turtle of the bunch.

oh,and anything you put in there that isn't a turtle,will soon be turtle food.ESPECIALLY crawdads and small fish.it's easier to just keep the cage as plain and simple as possible,to make cleaning easier.
