If you have sharp or jagged rocks or gravel at the bottom of your tank could be rubbing out on turtle's legs. I suggest that you put some smoother gravel in or just take out the gravel or rocks!
There would be no more red eared slider turtles......not much else would change.
Red Eared sliders are aggressive over food, territory mates, etc. Most likely it was due to that aggression. I would suggest separating the sliders and taking the injured slider a vet. Good Luck!
Red Eared Sliders are water turtles so they need water but sand can be in their tank with them. Sand tends to clog filters though, so gravel would be a better option.
No ! WHY would you want to feed a RES on something that is NOT part of its NATURAL diet !

you shouldn't keep sliders with ANY kind of lizard
Personally - I wouldn't recommend it... Many adult terrapins view ANYTHING smaller than themselves as food - it's likely they would size the hatchling up as a potential meal !
Any other types of turtles would be ok. Just don't put two males together. Geckomaster
Highly unlikely - as that would involve a risky operation under general anaesthetic.
No, turtles are very inquisitive and they would go right up to the catfish bite them, get stabbed, and then you would have the problem of having a hurt catfish and a stabbed turtle.
It is not strep throat. A doctor will need to diagnose your condition.
No, different types of turtles can only mate with each other if they are both part of the same sub species. for instance yellow belly sliders and red eared sliders can mate. but a painted turtle and box turtle would not mate.
