In a reaction on a previous article in which it was suggested to feed turtles with live food, the present author gives a warning.
Many fish used for feeding can spread tuberculoses.
Pelusios subniger are kept in an aquarium together with 5 Trachemys scripta elegans and 1 Pseudemys floridana . The author describes a breeding result with Pelusios . The males have larger tails and the plastron is concave. The female is larger than the males and has a higher carapax. Mating behaviour was observed regulary, consisting of a male approaching the female and courting her.
