General Care Discussion :: RES and a diffrent kind of turtle living together.

[Take-One]

Will A RES and a diffrent specis of turtle get along?

[megcornell]

No.
RES are usually too aggressive for other species, and generally do best on their own.
Anytime you add two turtles together you have to be prepared for the chance that they will need to be separated for life. Unless you have the means and space for two adult turtle set ups I wouldn't recommend adding turtles.

Yeah, I tried 2 different species and it Did Not work out. The one that wasn't a RES didn't grow as fast and was usually afriad of the RES.
