Bored back from college, posting some native tank pics

new2natives, you will have no problem with that. I have had turtles in all of my tanks for a year now. Just remember that you have to care about a reptile as much as your fish. Plus, if you screw up the turtles, you screw up your gf. lol.

the reason i ask is my gf has turtles, and for a long time i thought it would be cool to keep them in my 180 with my natives. but someone told me that it could not be done....
i figured they were wrong, but who was i to argue....
my tank consists of bass, perch, walleye, pickerel, and a catfish, all around 8-10" ... she has 4 red eared sliders (about 4-6" across the shells) ... what do you think, maybe one or two of them be ok in there??

what about a heat lamp and place for the turtles to get above the surface???

i have kept a RES with fish before.. make sure the fish are alot bigger then the turtles. and for a place to bask, the best way is to make something above the tank, here is one i spent only a few dollars to make.
