Hello:
Spiny Softshells don't get as large as Fl. Softshells.

It really isn't a good idea to mix softies with sliders and other hard shelled turtles in a contained environment. They can be damaged as well as do some damage to the other turtles.
Also you would need a substrate in the bottom of the pond for your softshell turtle. Best not to mix them.
