Chinese Soft shell

[Comet]

what setup does he need as I have spare tanks,logs, filter etc

[Tam n' Clint's Reps]

He needs a good filter and a heater, sand is optional and around a 3ft tank, aquarium salts, stress zyme and stress coat for the water, water needs to be kept at 26 degrees and thats about it, pretty easy really

3ft tank is way to small.. these guys get to 8/9 inches...

They do with neck and head. A female can get up to 12" no probs, this 1's a male about 10" long on the stretch, shell length of 5" approx and has plenty to swim in around a 3 x 2 tank. Obviously a bigger tank the better but as a bare minimum 3fts fine. With one of them turtle docks even better they give them max swimming space rather than ave rocks etc taking it up. I've rescued enough of these little blighters to know lol. Now if you was talking Floridas i'd say u'd need a pool built, but chinky softies are 1 of the smallest of softshells

sand isnt optional as they burrow in the sand for safety
