If the tank is large enough and the turtles are compatible. If there is aggression, separate immediately. The general rule of thumb is 10 gallons of water for every inch of shell. So, if you have two 4 inch turtles, you need at least 80 gallons of water.
Bottom walking turtles don't need that much water because they don't "swim" (they can, but generally don't), and my general rule of thumb for musks is 10 gallons for every 2 inches of shell.

Will Red-eared slider turtles breed in a tank?
Maybe. It depends on the tank conditions. They can breed in the tank but the female will not lay eggs in the water so if you are wanting them to breed, you'll need to make an area so the female can get out of the water and into sand to bury her eggs. If your female does lay the eggs in water they will most likely die unless you remove them within 2 hours and place them into a heated place in the same position you found them. From my experience I have not been able to hatch any eggs. My female has a land area with sand and a lamp yet she always hatches them in the water and by the time I see the eggs they are unhatchable.
Can red eared sliders be in the same tank with other turtles?
Yes they can as long as you follow the rule about 10 gallons per inch of shell for all turtles. For instance= 2 2 inch turtles need 40 gallons not just 20. Make sure the turtles are near the same size and you don't have two males or there will be aggression. Also, if you have a male and a female prepare for them to mate. Also, the tank gets dirtier a lot faster.
