Bigger is better for a turtle tank. You will need decorations for the turtle to rest on at the top of the water as well as a basking area with uv light and heat bulb. I would go with musk turtles for a beginner turtle. Also make sure your filter is too big for the tank as turtles are very messy...

What sort of turtle are you thinking of getting? Plants will most likely get. Ripped apart and eaten and cause mess in the tank just as heads up. Tank sounds cycled to me but I would invest in a better filter Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I live in England and when my lfs had some o looked into this. They eat fish and invertebrates so unless your talking big fish such as oscars I wouldn't put them in same tank. Have to be fed daily to accommodate their metabolism. I know they can grow up to a meter plate but never could find much...

I have a turtle tank and have set up a sump on it (it's an old marine tank) . I want to place some bio balls in there as biological filtration. Does size make a difference for bio balls like is it better to have more small ones or less larger ones or no real difference? Sent from my iPad using...

Some new additions and a few more decorations :) Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I am looking at a new turtle and someone is selling a Florida soft shell turtle they say is male. How difficult are these to care for? Do they bask? How can you sex them? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

also the turtles are about 10 months old. I am feeding in the tank at the moment as I was in my old tank (I moved them from a 30 gallon). I will be getting more decorations the weekend though when I get the plants so plenty for them to stand on. do you think a yellow belly slider will be ok in...

Have fed in the tank so far and been fine. There's two map turtles in there (or that's how they were sold). They have a floating log thing from Internet and seem to spend most their time on that so can chill in water and breath. They have uv and heat in there too

What do people think of my new turtle tank? Going to go fill up on plants for my sump this week and want a few more decorations yet but coming along nicely Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I have a 4 foot by 2 foot by 1 foot (deep) which was 90 gallon. I also have about a 30 gallon sump on the bottom. I currently have 2 small maps in a 30 gallon that I will be moving over once the 90 in cycled.but I was thinking of adding a yellow bellied slider too, would that be ok in a tank my...

Sorry wrote a response straight away but must not have clicked send. No pleco in the main tank and about 25 gallons I believe. It's 4 foot by 18inchs but not all full due to design of sumps

Converting from saltwater to fresh. How long should I wait after drying out a saltwater tank and putting fresh water in it before adding plants and fish or just normal cycle? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Hi I have been keeping saltwater fish for about 4 years now but due to time constraints I am struggling with the maintenance. So I am going to move my turtles from their smaller tank into my 4foot by 2 foot by 2 foot tank (know this isn't right area about turtles but questions seemed more...

Is this something you have found then or just an interest. May be wrong but I understood immature males turn into females but didn't think mature males did? Could be wrong though Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

What makes you think female is smaller one? As far as I understand female will always be dominant and bigger Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Smaller want necessarily sort it you need a male if you have had one for a while. The easiest way to find female it to take one from an established pair but harsh on clownfish other way is to buy very young Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

What sort of filter is it. It should be a good place for them to breed if anything? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

To my understanding as long as it is different species it should be fine. I have never tried it though but if I was going to I'd add both at the same time or rearrange rock work before adding second one Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Just as a bit of advice I've had snowflakes and lion fish and tbh they're fairly boring and don't do a lot. Althought beautiful. Also the problem I found with my snowflake was you have spot feed it first (the only time I really saw mine) otherwise it will bite at the other fish while they are...

Got a picture? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I would look at fish only with live rock a reef that size would require a lot of maintenance. tangs are great for fish only as are puffers and foxfaces and they all tend to be non aggresive. if going with all large fish you could look at lionfish eels triggers. but all depends on what takes your...

Males will change into female if no female females won't change into males in the presence of another female though they will just fight Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Will likely be a female if on its own should be fine as long as the new one is a male. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Personally a massive fan of valentini puffers

Looks like a hermit crab to me may just be my eyesight though lol
