Still, going by the article it would appear that the breeders want out. It might be worth buying a couple of young soonish if they're on your list.

Sigh. Maybe one day some of these dreams will become real... | I wouldn't be keeping Pig-nosed with other turtles. They can be extremely aggressive
to other turtles especially as sub-adults and adults. Someone we know had an adult rugosa torn apart by a Pig-nosed turtle (which was much smaller than the rugosa) while he was at work.
We have a 10,000 litre tank that has native fish that breed in there. We have rainbows (Crimson spotted-M.duboulayi), large Empire gudgeons, Eel-tailed Catfish, Purple spotted Gudgeons, Olive Perchlets(glass fish) and Fly specked Hardy Heads. The tank also has Irwin's turtles (which are the best looking snapping turtles in Australia), Eastern snake-necked turtles and Macleay River turtles. Mr Spike just recently had a dive in it and hand fed the turtles which is my favourite past-time. The water is crystal clear with a sand and river rock substrate with lots of logs for the turtles and fish to hide amongst.

Lungfish even have morphs ;-) http://www.ceratodus.com/special.html
We have a native black brim in our turtle pond. We think we have a sole survivor of about 6 we put in a number of years back.

Here's 6 pics of my 10,000 litre taken with my underwater camera. The lighting isn't terrific as it's raining up here at the moment. The 10,000 is 1.2 metres deep X 3.6 metres wide.
