Can slider turtles and painted turtles be in the same tank?
Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. However, turtle shells should not be painted. The paint prevents the shell from growing with the turtle, and it amounts to slow suffocation and death for the painted turtle. first he did not paint the turtle that's the type of turtle he has second yes they can be in the same tank.
Where can you get a cheap Turtle?
most pet store sell turtles fairly cheap, although this is not a cheap pet to own, they require a source of uv, an aquarium, a heat lamp, water filters, and other things. you are looking at a very basic enclosure to last about a year running about $100-$150, as I said this will only last for about a year then the turtle will out grow the inviroment and need a bigger tank. also if you plan to get a turtle, the filtration needs to be at least 3 times that of the tank, so if you have a 30 gallon tank you need a 90 gallon filter, or 50 gallon tank 150 gallon filter. they are very messy eater's and poop alot, so it's very hard to keep the water clean without proper filtration. while most pet stores sell turles for $5 to $15 that is the smallest of the expenses.

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.
Can your 5 inched turtle get stressed out in a gallon tank?
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.
