no RES turtles are fresh water turtles
around 80 degrees.
just throw your sperm in the tank and the turtle will eat it and it will be pregnet
I'm pretty sure. I've had a red eared slider and an Ouachita map turtle living together in the same tank for about... I don't know exactly... Maybe about 3 years? They are friendly toward each other (well, they aren't mean to each other) so I'm pretty sure they can be in the same tank. But my red eared slider did grow up together.
If only the wild turtle shows no agression. From my xperience, my wild turtle fatally bit my small red eared slider to death.
I wouldn't recommend it - since the RES will view the fish as food !
what will happen is that the baby false map turtle will get along with the red ear slider .B ut it will just take a will.
your betta will do just fine in close proximity to the turtle
Yes UV light is best but do not place your turtle tank in direct sunlight because this can potentially over heat your turtle.
YES, you can put a map turtle in the same tank with a slider.
you can buy a cuttle bone at the pet store (they are designed for birds) and float it in the tank for the turtle to knaw on. This is cheap, like a dollar or two.
My guess it that it is not going to be a happy little turtle! I would recommend a MUCH larger tank or a fenced-in outdoor pond!
A 5 inch sized turtle is too big for a gallon sized tank. They need more room to swim and the filtration needs more water than that for a turtle that size. I have a 5 inch male red eared slider in a 29 gallon aquarium and I consider that to be the smallest tank I would recommend.
