Very nice, I like the background, and the plants (are they live?) and I like your substrate.. (is it sand?) looks more like dirt. but your tank looks very natural.. Good job.

That's a very nice setup. Did you just get all these babies?? I wouldn't add anymore animals to the tank. You could also looking in to adding a few taller plants so the turtles have somewhere to rest while they swim. Also, if you want your fish to survive for more than a month, make sure there are a few hides.

Right, aggression usually starts after they've been together for a while. The plants will help obstruct their vision and make them feel more privacy. They will also allow the turtles a place to rest while swimming. Little turtles haven't had a lot of time to practice swimming and tire themselves out quickly.
