Turtle Vs. E. Plumpfish

I am currently level 76 and almost able to tame a Celestial Plumpfish.

I have an awesome turtle who has tanked everything in the water for me so far; including that Lochmur fish boss at the end of the 51+ TB chain. He is 72 at the moment due to lack of water quests at this time.

From reading up about pets and other Veno related material, others have said that Turtle is better, but takes longer to train since the best turtles are very low leveled (I tamed mine at level 5 in the lakes near City of Plume) and the lazy way is to just tame a random pet of your level range in the area up until 80 then just use a Plumpfish.

So, Turtle > Plumpfish, but unfortunately Plumpfish can evolve unlike my turtle. Does an evolved Plumpfish preform much better than a turtle to the point I should abandon my turtle and start working on a Plumpfish at level 80?


Edit:

Possibly, to avoid making a 2nd thread:

Will using the AoE Myriad (I want to say the Fox form one, I don't have them yet) on the boss in big room cause the mini me guy to blow up?

    Fox Form Myriad causes him to blow if either of DoTs triggers, Kitty thinks o,o If just def. debuffs trigger, then no worries.

    Looking at the pet stats page on Ecatomb (where pet stats are projected to level 105), the level 5 turtles like your Riptide Tortoise have better stats than the unbuffed Fantastical Angelfish, but given a decent inheritance roll and mood, the Angelfish will easily surpass the Tortoise. Of course, any of the evolved legendaries will outperform the Angelfish.

    Personally, I dumped my level 100 Abysmal Turtle when pet evolution came out.

    Ah... water pets...

    It has been so long since I used one. You can keep the turtle or get the angelfish, either way, you will rarely use them because lack of quests, and your level and gear that lets you tank a lot of water stuff on your own.

    Only moments that I think you might need them is when you have to face a boss in the water or in Dragon Temple, where siren mobs can be nasty.

    But yes, the turtle is a good water tank while the angelfish needs good inherited stats to get to that point. Its bonus are the special skills gained from the mood, so if you got space in the pet bag, you might want to keep both of them till you know for sure who to keep
