Alrighty then

Also he is relatively timid and let me pick him up under the water to remove him out of the way as I added sand

I have a feeder breeding tank, goldfish unfortunately. I can order a few hundred guppies and put them in a spare tank (if I can set an appropraite one up). I have spare rounded aquarium stones. I have a friend with a spare fluver canister filter (up to 400 gal) that I can ask to borrow. And I...

Yes.. I'm doing that at the moment

I have spare play sand, the tank was bare due to it previously belonging to fish that eat from the ground and were accidentally ingesting the micro gravel

It's ok I was stressed too

I can get a 300 gallon set up tmrw and I have two koi ponds and wouldn't mind selling the fish from one in a koi show in the future if need be

Well I was told it was a tortoise, and told the forum it was a tortoise and about my set up, and I got barraged :(

I'm experienced in freshwater aquarium keeping so size shouldnt matter too much..

Also I find it very offensive that you all are joking around and accusing this of being fake. It's not funny.

He said it was a "spurr thighed" tortoise. I have recognized that I have been scammed both in money and my daughter's happiness. The tortoise is dead and I don't know what to say to my daughter as she was already told of her new pet. She comes back from her dad's on Monday

Help! I have been saving up for a baby tortoise for 6 months, for my daughter's birthday. My breeder was selling one for 2000$, a good deal he said. He gave me tips on setting up a habitat. I made added him to me 120 gallon fish tank with the water at the reccomended 80-90 degree gradient. I...
