PNT are aggressive and when not fed enough will tend to nip and bite other fishes/turtles in the tank living with it.

PNTs tend to b more aggressive towards its own species n species that look similar. but aggression towards other turtles r not rare.

depending on the size of the 2 turtles u intend to comm. PNTs normally attacks the neck of one another. a long neck will b a very easy target for them. as they grow bigger they will get more territorial against one another.

u better take note of the 2 of them. dont end up like 1 of mine that got so badly whacked that ive already spent almost $300 thus far on treatment. it almost had to b put to slp if not for my persistence to keep it alive n its strong will to survive.

if they get territorial, they wont go for the fishes. they will go for one another. nth else can distract them. thats what happened in my tank.

thanks for the heads up bro, saw what happened to your pnts thats what prompted me to ask this question. currently they are in a huge 5 x 2,5 x 2.5 tank so far nothing happen.

funny thing is my long neck disappeared for 2 days crawled out and went into hiding in the garden :P just found him this afternoon. Bit my maid

i agree with bro schmike, so far pnt every time i am near it it will look very cute and adorable and try to get my attention, and then when i turn my back it will turn into a devil. so far it has EATEN 8 parrot fish (left bones only) 1 silver arowana, one luohan, a few bichirs and ALOT of plecos. Oh and a few silver dollars.

its nice to see all the Pnt owners coming into this thread
