yes and no,
Red Eared slider are a fresh water turtle from the Ohio river valley, Box tutrles are land turtle that can swim. When keeping them in the same tank (depending on size of all) one will be out of it natural environment. being in the incorrect environment can cause one the turtle to become sick. Box turtle live in dry woody environmet and like to sit in shallow water, if the box turtle stay to wet it can develope fungis or bacteria infection Red-Eared love water and tend to stay 90% of the time in or around the edge (quick get away), plus water turtle can not swallow with out water, no eating for a dry water turtle I have both, and I have built an outdoor pond with a beach and lots of land, the box turtles sit in the water from time to time but love crawling around in the dry oak leaves while the Red-Eared sliders sit on a log branch in the water to sun

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.
Can you put a map turtle in the same tank with a slider?

Can you hold eastern painted turtles?
NO. The eastern box turtle is a land turtle and the painted turtle is aquatic. If you had a habitat large enough that could accommodate a land area, a shallow water area and a deep water area it would be ok to house them together. The painted turtle would spend most of its time in the deeper water only coming on to land to bask, and the box turtle will spend the majority of its time on the land. They are not harmful to each other

Can a painted turtle breed with a red eared slider turtle?
A Painted Turtle can only "procreate" (have young) with another Painted Turtle but they have been known to "mate" (have sex) with Red Eared Sliders and Yellow Belly Sliders. They probably wouldn't try to mate with any other kind of turtle, other than a similar species of water turtle like maybe a Map Turtle. For instance, a painted Turtle probably would not try to mate with a Soft Shell Turtle or a Snapping Turtle (or any land turtle like a Box Turtle) because they would not recognize it as a possible mate. When a Painted Turtle tries to mate with a Slider, it is because its instincts are telling it that based on size, shape, and mating displays and behaviors, etc., it is another Painted Turtle. Interestingly, Red Eared Sliders and Yellow Bellied Sliders rages currently overlap and where they do there is a lot of unsuccessful mating going on between the two species but they cannot procreate. That is part of the "definition" of a separate species.
Can a red eared slider turtle live with ouachita map turtle?
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.
