Cosmas.OS Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I keep getting amazed by @Corys Colony of mini musk turtle, i am preparing a crate of the size of 80cm X 60cm X 45cm (around 50 gallon) i was planning on Stocking it up with a bunch of guppy grass and some mutt guppies and ramshorn snail as both enrichment and turtle snack. But as i research more about the turtle and watch more videos on Stinkpot turtles(the closest i can get to the mini musks) i found that they can wreak hell on each other. I was originally planning on getting 3 juveniles/4 baby turtles but now i am hesitant. Any suggestion to keeping a colony of turtles or any experience on how to do it well? Any input would be appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmas.OS Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 @Guppysnail sorry it took a while but heres the updateupdate. Get ready for the most ghetto turtle setup youve seen in a while. Its a 50 gallon industrial tub that i strapped on a bucket filter along eith those old chinese over the aquarium sumpi got 3 stinkpots in there with a bunch of teaball platy thats been breeding out of control lately. As for the turtles i amkeeping a close eye on whether they get too nippy with each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expectorating_Aubergine Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I've found with my musks that keeping males with females is dicy (unless you have a big enclosure). Male musk turtles can do a lot of damage, or even kill females that aren't receptive/other males. I would suggest sexing them when you can, and separate the male(s). They start getting aggressive when they become sexually mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmas.OS Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Yeah i also read about that. So far the 3 of them look to be female and i am keeping a close eye on them for any nips and bites if they ever get aggresive with each other i will separate them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
