Would it be alrite for me to put 2 baby RES turtles in a oversized tank. Say I had 2 2in. turtles in a 90gallon tank. Im just making sure, I figure the more room the better. (sorry if thats not how big a baby RES actually is, lol I didnt actually know how big one would be)

I dont think that'll be a problem for them. It might be a problem for you when you actually clean it. Haha.

Two, 2 inch turtles should be in a minimum of 40 gallons, so 90 gallons is a great start! While cleaning the 90 gallons may be more work, it probably won't have to done as often. Make sure you have a really great filter!

Also make sure you have plants of different heights or some that suction to the tank sides for them to rest on as they swim from the bottom to the top of the tank since the tank is larger. :)
