don't know what kind of Soft Shell this little guy is. He is so cute but I no longer have the room for him anymore. I have too much breeding action from all my other cichlids. So I need his tank space. He eats dried shrimp right from your hand! very personable. Its shell measures about 4"-4.5". He must go! first $20 takes it./ obo Will make a trade as well, send me some offers. Im interested in Tangs!



I also have some 3.5" wild caught Tropheus that need to go!



Also feel free to post here if you know what kind of turtle this is and how much they usually go for.



Thanks, please take it asap! pic up in Socal.

My last soft shell turtle was free. I caught him out of a lake. Oh and be careful because they will bite! It does not hurt, but it scared the living crap out of you.

A place where you will more likely find someone who can take care of it would be www.turtleforum.come

Born2lovefish, lol your right it does scare you the first time but it actially kind of tickles. He eats krill right from my hand! I wish I didnt have to get rid of him but I do. Unfortunately we dont have lakes out here in California where we can just catch these.

Thanks winter wind! Its actually easier believe it or not to sell soft shell turtles in fish websites. they are becoming more and more common amongst aquariests! I will try the other site too!

might be interested..

I have a 120 gal setup with about 70 inches of fish...I DO have plenty of Tetras and Zebra Danios....Do you think your turtle is fast enough to catch (and eat) these guys? I have been wanting a turtle, but was afraid of the carnivorous nature of them...How big do you think this fella will get? I'm in Louisville KY, in case you are nearby...I'm interested.
