I just got 2 baby RES. Their names are Bubbles and Blubbli. I have a 10 gallon tank, but I don't know if it's big enough. I'm new and a beginner, so I will need a lot of help. Sorry if I bother you, and I'll try my hardest to research on my own!

Welcome. :) It would be good if you started reading some of the information on the site. Then if you have specific questions, people will be happy to try to answer them.

A 10-gallon tank is really ok for one very small turtle. Two should be in at least a 20-gallon tank. What other equipement do you have in the tank?

In the tank I have a heater, and a medium-sized platform. The filter is outside of the tank and there are tubes that are inside of it. Thank you for the reply!

Welcome to the forum! Like Marisa said, read through the posts and the main site. I know when I was new, I was overwhelmed, so don't hesitate to ask when you don't understand something. There is such a wealth of information here that it won't take long for you to get an excellent set up going.

A word to the wise, since you already know that your tank is too small, before you upgrade, think about growth in the future. Don't go buy a 20 gallon, unless you can't afford something more, because that won't last very long. Go as big as you can now and it will save you money in the long run!
