[jozzep]

Ok...So it's been a while since i've posted some pics...Just cleaned both tanks and the water quality looks amazing so i decided to snap a few pics

This one is my 75 gallon with RES and paints....Last pics i posted were a few years ago






This is my 30 gallon with paints and muskies

Nice pics! How does your painted like it in there with RES?

Wow, so pretty.

I gotta ask, cause I'm kind of big on turtles living together (if it works, go for it, one less tank to clean), how do they get along? How social are they?

[Rubicon]

Wow that's alot of big turtles for that little tank. How do they get along? I can't believe there's no issues.

[jozzep]

They get along fine.......The big one is a 75 gallon filled to the rim and the little a 30 gallon also filled as you can see in the pics....I had the musk turtles in the big one and the RES were biting the carapace by the tail so i got the smaller tank for them and the little paints.
By the time the little guys grow (in a year or 2) i will have an outdoor pond for all of them

Wow~! I like your setup and your turtles. This is like my plan where I'm gonna get 75gallon wide tank as to put my 2 RES and 2 YBS together maybe in next 2 month.

You just make my idea become real thing. hehe.. Now I know hows my plan looks like. THank you

Therefore I already plan their outdoor pond plan. Maybe in next year I will start the project. hehe..

I'm happy you like them
My turtles are outgrowing this set-up since i've had it for over 2 years now and i take in any turtles people don't want anymore.
As you read in the sig, i have A LOT of them.
I'm trying to get 125-150 gallon on craigslist and add that to the collection.
The next project will be an outdoor and indoor pond, but that will happen once i buy a home....I'm renting now

[Azfar]

As long as you happy with your turtles being together with no issue then I really happy too~! Because I also gonna put my RES and YBS together soon so I hope they also will not fight among each others.

Owh yeah, I was about to ask you.. How and where did you get those 8 Eastern Painted.. thats a LOT.. Can I have one? hehee..

[jozzep]

The 6 little guys i have, my grandparents neighbor has a pond and his turtles layed a clutch and he had 12 hatchlings and he noticed they were disappearing (he lost 6).So he asked me if i wanted them cause most likely they were all gonna get eaten and i took them in.
The 2 big ones i found on the side of the road next to a pond they drained for construction.I took 2 and i gave 2 to my friend with the pond.
The 2 musk turtles i got from my sisters friend that didn't want them anymore.
And that's how i got my turtle family lol
I'll give you 2 if you come get them

[Azfar]

HEhehe maybe in one fine day if I can fly to NJ. hehe.. when I get rich and lots lots of money. hehe.. Yes I will get the Eastern Painted from you. At this moment please take a good care of those babies. hehehe

[jozzep]

They're as happy as turtles can be lol

[robind]

Are those real plants? I've been able to keep hornwort in the tank with some success, but it mostly gets eaten by the turtle.
