Habitat - Indoor :: 2 turtles 120 gallons

Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

I am debating on trying both turtles in the 120 to see if the space is enough to stop the fluttering. They are about the biggest size they should be in the tank now, but I would really prefer to clean 1 tank as opposed to 2, and also not have to get a new filter and MVB light for the other tank. I am a little concerned though, as I'd feel bad if they did start biting each other because of my lack of time and money. What do we think? Try it and hope? Or leave one in the 75, and move the other to the 120?

Since they were already in the 75gallon tank together I would try it out and see if the aggression goes down a bit. Just observe their behavior for a couple days then make your final judgment. If they don’t get along you could also get, or make a divider for the middle.Then you wouldnt have to clean two tanks. I’m not sure if 60gallons would fit you turtles though. How big are they.

If you have a male in there, I don't think it will stop. It would give the harassed more room to maneuver around, so it should help a bit.

One is certainly a male, and I may have 2 boys. I just don't want either of them to get hurt. I would feel like a very unfit turtle parent.
