OK, is there anyone here that knows how to keep a turtle properly? I have been wanting to get a turtle, but then when i started researching them, i realized how big of tanks they needed. Then i look here and theres people keeping the same turltes i wanted in tanks that are not nearly the size of what was recomended. I went on forums for turtles, and they said that one "red ear slider" would need around 100 gallons for just one turtle! Now this is probably the tank size they need, but on this forum I see people keeping that turtle and many other types in tanks pretty small. Turtles are very messy, and need alot of fitlration. They probably shouldnt even be kept with other fish because of the amount of crap they produce. Is there anyone on this forum that knows alot about turltes?
