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.

Can turtles make babies?
Yes. Interbreeding between different subspecies is quite possible, such as red-eared sliders and yellow-bellied sliders, or Eastern box turtles and Ornate box turtles.

Can turtles be in the same tanks as fish?
I think it depends on the species. I have had two small red-eared sliders and two rather large gold-fish (they look like koi) in the same tank together.

It worked for me but the turtles refused to go in the water because they were afraid of the fish.
