Red-eared sliders are one of the most common types of turtles found in the pet trade, but ... are good for young turtles, but as red eared sliders mature ... more like indoor ... yes they are good indoor pets
good names for a red eared slider should be based on their personality/what they're like. hope this helped.

red eared slider turtles make good pets.
Red-eared slider turtles are not recommended as pets for beginners due to their specific care requirements, such as a large tank, proper diet, and UV lighting.
Red Eared sliders are aggressive over food, territory mates, etc. Most likely it was due to that aggression. I would suggest separating the sliders and taking the injured slider a vet. Good Luck!

Same as a regular Red Eared Slider. The average male is 7-9in, and the females 8-12. A good care sheet as well as housing tips and such can be found at Austins Turtle Page.
Yes I'm not sure exactly what but this website looks good http://www.redearslider.com/
You can purchase a good quality turtle food and/or leafy greens. You can allow the greens to float in the water. The turtles will bite off of it.
no. It could be a possible skin infection. take it to the vet immediately or give it to someone who can provide it a good home.
Yes. The most common fish a Red Eared Slider will eat is Commet Goldfish. Red eared sliders will eat fish, but fish are full of worms and parasites which will contaminate your filter. For an indoor slider I suggest only pellets and veggies. Plus they eat parts of the fish and the rest you would have to clean out right away. My slider loves just his pellets, he snubs romaine lettuce and any other veggie I have tried. Ice berg lettuce is not good for sliders either. I have a 4 year old slider that is 5 inches long he is in a 40 gallon tank alone.
I really don't know. All I can tell you is that we thought ours had escaped for about two weeks and then found that he hadn't. He is still alive but is VERY close to death. If you have a Red Eared Slider that is close to starvation, you can shred some carrots and then wet them and then give them to him/her. They will also eat dead insects of alive ones. I gave mine a dead grub...at least I think it was dead... I hope this helped. Good luck with your turtle!
