If I recall correctly they are from Asia and mainly live in rice paddies. They live in warm, shallow waters eating mosquito larva. Often time the water they live in is muddy and stagnant so they have adapted to be mouth breathers.

A dixie cup is far from there natural environment. Small tanks (5 gallons minimum) should be enough to make them happy. Or at least as happy as any other fish that we put into our little glass boxes.

I do appologize and am regretting posting on this touchy subject at all. But at the end of the day in my opinion putting goldfish and turtles in key chains is just WRONG. As well as somehow they figured out that they would last up to a month without feeding and water changes...

I agree with most to you in the regard about the goldfish, and we should really look at the way they are treated in our country before we look at anyone else.

But what about the turtles, they are put in the oxygen-less plastic bag with what appears to be orange kool-aid. Come on. Thats just sick. I have no doubts that they are dying with a few hours. Maybe even some of them are being sold dead.

Anybody travelling to China soon? Buy all the turtles and cut open the bags and set em free.

my two cents.
