Hi all, im getting my first softy soon and i would like to know a few things, and hear some experienced people talk about it first-hand...

first i wanted to know if its ok to keep softys with other softys or softys with other species, if they are both roughly the same age?(i've heard lots of people say 'yes' and lots of people say 'no')

second, what would be a good tank size for a softy from birth

on-wards?

third, if they are not keeped with other hard shell turtles i should still provide a basking platform(will 'zoo-med's'

'turtle dock' damage the softy's plastron)

forth, which species of softy grows the least/is the smallest?

Thanks to any one who can answer all this!

Tivon
