    Need to rehome an African Dwarf Mud Turtle

    Pelusios nanus tank

    I am waiting for my aquarium store to get a plant called Frogbit. They say it is better than duckweed. Water lettuce was in my last tank for an RES and it got quite messy and unruly. Not my favorite water plant.

    Here are pix of the tank and their tushies! In the tank, there is a plant area, a sandy land area, a basking area, and the shallow swimming area. Bug basks often, Wally- not so much.

    The moss balls are being ignored at the moment. I did create a semi-swamp corner which they love and spend a lot of time sorting through the moss. The cherry shrimp are so small that I have them in a separate tank at the moment with amano shrimp and some pond snails. Bug is growing faster...

    No problem, you have been so helpful and you are a great resource. I may have to order those cherry shrimp!!!! Have you ever put one of those small red-clawed crabs in the tank with the turtles? I have one in my tropical fish tank and he is not happy. I am thinking he (the crab, that is)...

    Thanks Juliette, I did read this. I have scoured the internet and this forum plus Austin's forum for every piece of information I could find on the African Dwarf Mud Turtles. I picked this breed of turtles because of their small size and their friendly personalities. For the past 50 years, I...
