I got our newest family member 3 weeks ago -its a cute slider, red ear turtle.
Am now looking for a nice turtle house or an aquarium. Anyone know a good store to buy this piece of mobile real estate property next to its shell? Also I think my turtle (name Aristotle) needs a room mate. I think he'll be less stress, living with another specie or his own. I prefer another turtle since it will be less maintenance (no oxygen required ) if I get a fish.
Jakarta area please.
 
You could check out Jl. Sumenep in Menteng - they sell all kinds of fish and fish supplies, and turtles as well. They probably have everything you need, though you'll need to wander around a while to find it - it's a big place with lots of vendors.

Thanks! Initially was thinking of a place between Blok M and Majestic area but I Cant remember seeing any aquatic products nor creatures there except Birds and 4 footed pets.
 
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Although the most pervasive turtle in the pet trade, the red eared slider is native to the USA and is considered an invasive species in most other countries and banned. I do not currently know the status it in Indonesia, but I am aware that it is illegal in Australia. My bahasa Indonesia skills are not great enough to peruse Indonesian government regulations on the topic, but you may want to be cautious about owning non native species in a country.
 
I read that too...but that declaration is subjective to specific territory. Mine was given by some students can't help but give it a shelter, and found its way to be my son's first pet. Yes, it came from a legit pet shop.
 
By the way, a truly "invasive" and destructive pet are the cats, as they are the culprit to hundreds of thousand bird kills.:shocked:
