Red-eared slider turtles typically reach sexual maturity and can become pregnant at around 2 to 5 years of age, depending on their size and environmental conditions. Females usually need to be at least 4 inches in shell length before they can reproduce. Proper care and a suitable habitat can influence their growth and maturation rates.
Its really a gamble to put any fish with a red eared slider , it depends how big the sucker fish is if it is small the turtle with probably eat it , you are supposed to let them grow up together i have a sucker fish with my red eared slider but they are baby's so they have not bothered it.
our red slider turtle is 1 1/2 years old and she will eat 5 small goldfish at a time.
feed it turtle food but make sure the food is big.feed it lettuce and krill.also earthworms and fresh fish.

if the red eared slider's shell is 15cm. it is 5 years old!
of course! i have a baby red eared slider living with a big 8 inch turtle and they get along! you have to make sure they know and like each other before you put them both in the same tank
a dangerous way is to put your hand in front of it. if it pulls its head back it can see you. that's why it pulls its head back. no guarentee if this will work though
Creases in a red-eared slider's shell, especially in a young turtle, can indicate growth issues, often linked to improper diet or environmental conditions. If the turtle is not receiving adequate calcium or UVB light, it may lead to shell deformities. Additionally, rapid growth due to overfeeding can also cause uneven shell development. It's essential to ensure a balanced diet and proper habitat conditions to promote healthy shell growth.
