Okay, if some dont know Im currently Keeping a Snapper turtle. Love him to death and spoil him with logs ect.

I spend most of my effort on Bubbles ( Snappers name )

Im looking for maybe a few more friendly turtles to keep in a 20 - 30g large tank
Something friendly. I was thinking about getting 2 razorback musk turtles,
Yes I can supply to all their needs,

Anyone have ideas on 2 Cute and friendly aquatic turtles?

 
You CAN'T keep anything else with a snapper, except really fast fish like rosy barbs or tiger barbs or giant danios, but once the lights are out, all bets are off. Other turtles lose tail parts, limbs and if their heads are smaller than the snappers mouth, decapitation is likely. Even a "nice", apparently tame snapper, grows into a ferocious eating machine, and even other snappers are fair game. Forget about other species of turtles in the same tank. I've kept all sorts of turtles for 50 years. Snappers can't be trusted over the long haul.
 
No, Im talking about 2 Different turtles, in a different tank.
I was thinking 2 Diamondback Terrapin or 2 Razorback musks,

I just want some friendly ones
 
Diamondback Terrapins have my vote!
 
The only species that you could keep for life in a 20-30 gallon tank would be a Stinkpot. And even then I think those sized tanks are too small. Pretty much every other species needs much more swimming space then those size tanks provide.
