I would do blue gills with them, I have Tilapia in with my 3 red ear sliders and soft shell. They dont even bug the fish. Some of the fish are very young to but they all get along just great. cant wait to do the out door pond build.

I cant wait to see your build, should look great and im sure they will love all the room.

Did he tell you he was happy?

Without a basking area, red ears will develop problems in their shells.
