Hey guys,

I have been studying and researching for couple days and decided i m going to build a good tank. So, I am thinking , since i am going that route why don't i have one more turtle or adobt one. I do have 2 RES right now, I love number 3, so i m going to get one more. Will there be a problem if i get a different turtle?
Where would be the best for me to shop for turtle? I would like to get baby turtle which will not grow as big as RES.

Thanks

its a bad idea tp get another turtle. odds r u will need another setup which is double the price. i dont suggest gettign one. and how do u plan on building a tank?

Srry, I think i meant it wrong. What i meant was i m going to have nice setup. With canister xp3 or fx5 with 55g+ tank.

-What kind of problem will they if i put them together. Will they hurt each other?

RES, especially males, will be a bit more aggressive. Some can be very aggressive and endlessly harass other turtles. This can make it stressful for other turtles and they may not do their normal turtley things.
