Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2005 4:21 pm20 gallons? thats way to small, it should be at least an 80.... craigslist.org
My turtles used to nip and shaking at eachother in the 10 gallon, but i got a $50 (50 gallon) aquarium from craigslist, and that has gone down tremendously, it must be territorial, its probably isnt mating.

Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2005 5:29 pmAre any of them male? You may need to keep them permanently separated, not to mention separate tanks (40 gallons now - 90 gallons each if they are adult males).
