Hello. My Lil guy has a cool little musk turtle that is doing very well in his 10 gallon turtle tank. Has the cut down glass on one side for the filter. I was wondering if anyone has a tank that we can upgrade him into. I would prefer one similar but larger.. say 20L, 30L, etc.. But would consider a low frag tank. He/she (idk) is aquatic but not the best swimmer by design so it doesn't need to be a deep tank.

Anyway- if anyone has one please contact me with what you have and how much. I have african cichlids I can trade like:
Mloto Ivoryhead, Leleupi adults and fry, large Fossochromis Rostratus, large Phenos..

Thanks- Marc and Marcus

Don't those get pretty big?  I'm wondering if you'd be better off with a wider footprint like a 30 or 40 breeder.

Yup, musks are a small turtle.
A few fish and the desire for more.

If the 36"x18" is not to your size preference, I have a 24"x18"x15"h rimless tank...fish room quality that I'd sell really cheap.

Thanks the the replies everyone.. How tall is the 24x28.. And the 30 breeder sounds about perfect.. You u have a 30 breeder in decent shape.. It would be nice if it wasnt too scratched up. Please lmk. Thanks!  Btw.. He/she is about 2.5 inches in diameter currently..

Hey Marc,
Sorry I posted that from my phone and accidentally typed the wrong number.
The tank is 24"x18"x15"high. I'd sell it for somewhere around $15-20.

Could have been a map turtle...they get that big and a little more
