The proper rule of thumb is 10 gallons for every inch of Aquatic turtle you have. So if your three turtles each measure 4 inches long, for example, you need to have AT LEAST a 120 gallon tank.
No Tank is Really Going to be Large EnoughFor a group of turtles, no aquarium is ever really going to be large enough. The post above provides an excellent guideline for how much swimming space to provide your turtles - but you must also allow for basking space as well. Your best bet is to look into a preformed pond (which are available at most home improvement stores). When set up properly they provide a more natural habitat (less stressful for your turtles), and are much easier to clean, light, and heat... they are also far less expensive - allowing you to spend your money on fixing them up - rather than providing the bear minimum. :)That is not true you need maybe about a 30-40 gallon tank. :)

∙ 8y agoDepending on the species, a 55 gallon is a minimum for most turtles such as sliders and painted turtles, with 75 or 100 gallons being a more realistic expectation. Females of most turtle species grow quite large, and it is absolutely not true that they will stop growing in a confined tank. They will grow to the size their species and diet allows.

∙ 13y agoA turtle tank should be 20 gallons or more to be a good home. Depending on the species and how big the turtle will get, you will need to buy a bigger tank as it grows.

∙ 13y agoHey there,
a 30 gallon is definitely too small for 2 baby turtles it also depends on the adult size of the turtles
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoDimensions vary depending on the style, however a standard 30 gallon tank is 36-1/4" long x 12-5/8" wide x 16-3/4" high.

∙ 9y agoA 30 gallon tank is alright for a baby snapper turtle. But know they will out grow this tank and they will need a bigger living environment.

How many red ear slider turtles can live in a 10 gallon tank and is it possible to keep one in like a plastic container or tub if so how big should it be?
Only one, and sometimes a ten gallon tank isn't enough room. The tank should be 4-5 times the turtle length wise and 3-4 times the turtle in width. If you have more then one, each turtle should get that amount of space. The water should be 1.5 times deep for instance a 7 inch turtle would have water 10 inches deep.
