That cross is not only possible but has been done many times...but for some reason most produced end over seas and the ones that hit US pet market are sold for rediculous prices. Your turtles have however MUCH growth to do and it will take many years before you can begin to think about trying such adventure.
Your turts should be put on pellets as soon as possible, bloodworms dont have most of the things they need. A trick in getting them to acept pellets consists in powdering thouse and mixing them with shredded chicken (like a mini burger!). Tetra reptomin is good.
Your turtles are overcrowed with gold fish, those are not good to have both with turtles so small (not because they are agressive, because they tend to have nasty patogens)and in such densities. Put them apart.
ok got it. Would a couple of more days hurt? My gars are almost out out the q tank (2days more prob) and they ate the reptomin :-D I guess they got so hungry they ate it? And any tips on how to breed them in the many years to come?

any stories on them attacking gars, koi, and sturgeon? Cuz i have plans on them going into my 2,poo gallon pond. Or should i just build them there own pond? If they can't live with those fish that is.

Hummmm...I want to say you can and probably is possible, but...you would need to wait untill your turtles were full grown to avoid them being preyed by those bad boys which could take quite some time. Also if the map is a male he would be in great disadvantage, male maps tend to say very small. Actually in my experience its risky to house them with female res in normal sized tanks. I would say that if both turtles are female and turn huge its worth the shot. Have you considered receiving turtles from a rescue group?:) You want BIG turtles for your pond, well rescues are full of big res, cooters, maps,etc. But in a tank with large predators if you want baby turts you would need to be really vigilant on the nest sites (and yes you need to build them some). To breed them in your climate all you would need is animals of both sexes and let nature run its corse.
