You can incubate them in the egg incubator.
Its a big glitchy but it definitely works.

While your tameing them have a friend swim around and kill other creatures that are near you
Its either the easiest tame or the hardest, have a basi or megalodon tame ln follow that you can hop on to kill any wild megalodons, but once the fishes start cleaning the megachelon you will have to be swimming with a crossbow to kill the salmon and coel that spawn into to eat the little fishes. Takes like half an hour to tame, easier if you have tribemates.
Don't even waste your time, all are 30+ mins to tame and 99% of the time you can’t even hit the stupid fish that are eating the swarm
Got one to 60% on one parakeet school. Noticed a salmon or coel following the school and killing it. Killed the fish and literally watched one more spawn and do the same. No successful one swarm tames yet but I'm going to keep trying
The microbe swarm doesn’t get eaten by the turtle they wash him and that is how you tame theme!!!🧐
Best tip I’ve seen/cuold think of was trap it in gates so it’s safe well it’s taming
Does anyone know if it has a weight reduction of any kind and of what
Dont try and get them stuck on a wall because like spiderman theyll climb it and you can kiss your 95% taming efficiency good bye
When fighting them for shell fragment farming, jump on the back of them and attack till they hit water surface, then you’ll be able to just attack sitting on top of them while it swims around... side note, if your tamed Dino clips through their model, it has a chance of auto dying... lost my 209 sarco when it was well above half health instantly because it clipped through the model of the turtle
These bad boys have insanely high hp, weight and damage aswell as a bubble breath which can push back enemies super far on land and can push enemies to the surface and stun em when in water. To top it all off they also have a platform saddle and are stupidly good at climbing things so you can use them for fights and holding a ton of stuff such as a base without being too restricted on where you can go
You must be DISMOUNTED when trying to initially get the microbe swarm to aggro the turtle. After that, you may re-mount. As long as a player (any tribe, possibly unintended) is in very close proximity to the turtle, it will tame at a static rate regardless of level. It takes ~30-45 mins to tame without reset.
When it comes to taming or baiting this to an area, be careful as the longer it stays around the area for the more sharks and eels spawn.
Build a big ass taming pen spawn West in ocean and then go south by following the wall you will find that weirdo structure in the water you able to build around we did 25 behemoth gate you can bring swarm fish inside before you bring the turtle make sure someone is looking to them when the turtle is inside bring the swarm fish near to it be atleast 3 people 4 will be amazing and easier for aggrowing fish inside the taming pen a saberthoot salmon will spawn and eat the swarm fish dropping is taming procedure chance I try to kill it but it's have more health then a normal one if you it the turtle by trying that you lose the taming procedure back to zero kill also the coecthlant as they will eat the swarm fish aswell we got our first giant tortoise and I'm happy to share with you how to do it
