Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

softshell turtles...
Can anyone tell me anything about Korean softshell turtles? I have a small one, 3 1/4 inches long, I'm looking to make it as fat and happy as it could be, but getting it to eat is difficult. It only likes fresh killed fish, but it's too slow and lazy to catch the small "feeder" fish I have in the tank with it. Also, would a 10 gallon aquarium be enough room for it or do I need to go bigger? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

i have raised many florida soft shell turtles. 10 gal is fine for now, but im sure it will out grow that in a year or so. Just keep the fedder fish in the tank with him, try putting a little sand on the bottom of the tank soft shells love burring themselves in the sand with only there heads out , like snapping turtles they are ambush preditors and its normal for your little guy not to chase around gold fish, and try putting some ghost shrimp in the tank for feeders. also use some sort of full spectrum lighting, a growing turtle will greatly benifit from that. also try droping a chricket in the water your soft shell might go for it. hope everything stays well with your turtle, and remember even tho soft shells spend most of there life in the water they still need an area to come out of the water and bask.
