Rio Grandes aren't too difficult to find on the web. You don't often see them in stores though.

The red on Rio Grandes is often much brighter.

I have a Rio and he is much different than yours. I would say yours is a regular slider.

With the feeding aggression issue you had with your own turtles, you might discourage her from keeping two. It's such a big responsibility, but at least she has a friend who is knowledgeable about turts.
