They get waaay too big for a 2.5 gallon tank http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?id=4512They should live a long time, too. I saw one 10 years ago, an abino, in a great little pet shop in NJ that's since gone out of business. I always regretted not buying it, the owner took it home and still has it 10 years later.
Get a big killie for your culls like a prognathus or that giant predatory Notho. I used to have a big livebearer, Alloophorus robustus, which was good at culling. Nothings as good as a turtle, though.
