Hello, I want to construct a pond for my three yellow bellied sliders ( 8-9 inches each). How deep should the pond be? And how many gallons?

Are they all females? Do they get along? Minimum would be about 300 gallons, depending on location/shade/sunlight but I would try to get much larger... maybe 1500 gallons or so.

Slider are great swimmers, so 2-3 feet deep is fine.
