120 gallon Stock

[Stevenm1]

Hey guys, I have an empty 120g (4x2x2) tank and wanted to keep a turtle/turtles. I have owned a Eastern Painted turtle in the past and would like another one, but a 120g just for one Painted turtle seems a little overkill. Let me know if any of these options would work. Thanks
(Options)

1) Eastern Painted and Razorback Musk or Stinkpot
2) Painted and Slider
3) Slider and Razorback Musk
4) African Side-Necked Solo

Thanks

Sorry meant to edit..... Instead of Slider and Razor option 3 would be a Painted and Red Bellied Cooter. If I have to go Solo, I was thinking either African Sideneck or Slider. Out of those two which do you prefer? Thanks

Thanks for the thumbs up, which one would you go with?

I personally like Painted and the Red Ear Slider. The smallest Musk specie would be my second option due to their size.

Painted and Slider would be Great, everything I have read says they should do well together, but it’s up to individual turtles. You think they have a good chance of getting along ? Thanks

Hey thanks for the advice. I have one more pair to ask about, I thought it was a bad ideas didn’t mention it but did some digging and found that Pink Bellied Sidenecks are not really aggressive at all and do mix well with other species. I was thinking since a Painted is an avid basket and the PB Side-Necked is almost fully aquatic they have a good chance of success. Would like to hear any opinions you might have. I was thinking a female Painted and whatever sex I can get on the PB Sideneck. Thanks
