RD. Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Looks nice Kim! It wood look even nicer with a bunch of fish swimming in it. :hey: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I prefer the turtle. However, I would like to get a large fish tank (bigger than my sad tank at the moment). I want to get one in the wall that is shared between rooms (big dreams, doubt I will ever be able to afford it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neatfreak Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 he's cute but needs a buddy or better yet A Mate :hey: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic_Aquariums Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 http://www.aquariumstands.net/Presidential.htm Cheap, shameless plug, Kim! However, your turtle WOULD fit in there comfortably in about 50 yrs! Actually, he looks quite comfortable in the 65 gal for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) I want a buddy for him. But then I have a couple problems. First I dont know how to sex them properly (only what the internet told me) or even if you can at the size he is, and I would need to get the other one sexed before I bought it too. Second, to find another one of the same kind. Rob- and how much would that tank cost me?? Edited August 29, 2005 by Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic_Aquariums Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hmmm. Not sure if all the pics. came through! Looks to me like only 1/2-still lots o room for that turtle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) I know he has lots of room, sometimes I even wonder if he even knows where everything is yet, since I usually find him in 2 different spots. He may be a little lost at times. Rob- and how is my day buddy settling in? Edited August 29, 2005 by Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic_Aquariums Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hopefully he will settle in fine! Looks like you have all the bases covered, but you would know more about that than me for sure! I had a 6" Red eared-slider in a 33, with 2 AC 500's! Way too small!

Majestic_Aquariums Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Don't quote me on this, but I think Riverfront could sex him for you. If I recall, they charge $35 for this. Maybe Petland would be getting more of these guy's in, and you could "pck" through! I still have the actual 90 gal. tank for sale-very slightly used. (like 2 months-no water) $100 would do it! If you are looking for the 190 gal, I believe Jim paid at least 10X that much! But it's starphire glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) Well this is the first turtle I have ever taken care of, but he seems happy. :smokey: he can run pretty quick (for a turtle). I knew I would never be able to afford a nice tank (well that nice). Hmm I might have to get some more turtles into Petland, but I know it wont be for a while. We are right full.

Majestic_Aquariums Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Please keep in mind that Jim had ALOT of custom mods. to a starphire tank! (hence the price!) But you really don't need to spend THAT much on a tank for your turtle (s). (but you know all this, working at a "cool" petstore! ) That 120 gal. you guy's sold would hold 2 for quite some time, I would guess! (check w/Toirtis, he knows EVERYTHING! :thumbs: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 My turtle should be fine in the tank he is in, I might need to upgrade but it depends on how big he grows. The max size as far as I know it only 9" (for a female) and 8" (for a male). But that 125 gallon sure was nice. I dont want a wall tank for my turtle but for fish.

Majestic_Aquariums Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Oh, well, if that's the case, the possibilities are ENDLESS! Wall tanks are cool for sure, but plan on staying there for awhile! I will pm. you a price on the one I listed above if you like! All kidding aside, I think alot more goes into the planning and maint. of the tank, than just size-Lisa's 72 was stunning to say the least! But yeah, I keep on dreaming, and drawing of my "large" tank too-it will be here by Christmas!! Now, just gotta get to B.C and collect the other 1000 lbs. of rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
