No that is not a good idea at all.

Res are pretty aggresive turtle and putting turtles in at that size or a res of any other size is a bad idea. At that small those turtles can get seriously injured by the bigger turtle even by accident. Turtle should be at least 3.5 before you put them together if your dead set on doing this.
