They are not very fast and they have a shell to help keep them safe. Water turtles (red earred slider only, that what i had i dont know if this info will be use ful for any other water turtles)need a temp of 75-80f, they like a heat lamp on for 12hours a day and turned off at night. They have to have drops in the water to provent cholrin, and they also have to have drops that keep their shell from getting algre on it. They don't eat other turtles, but if they feel feared by one they will bit it to death. Doesn't matter how big or little the turtles are they will bit it to death. How to prevent this from happening is to put the turtles in the tank at the same time, so they dont get territoryal. They eat pellets until they are about 3mths old. After that can eat worms and goldfish, and pellets.
They hibernate in the mud.

-The scientific name of the giant Galápagos tortoise is Geochelone elephantophus.

-An adult giant Galápagos tortoise is generally about four feet (1.2 meters) long and weighs some 475 pounds (215 kilograms).

-There used to be 15 subspecies of Galápagos tortoises; now there are only 11. The different subspecies live in different habitats and have physical characteristics and behaviors shaped by where they live.

-The populations of Galápagos tortoises that live on the hotter and drier islands of the Galápagos have developed shells that are saddle-shaped with a high notch above the neck. This allows them to stretch their necks higher to reach vegetation that grows above the ground.

-The populations of tortoises that live on the islands that are generally cooler and wetter have dome-shaped shells. They feed on vegetation that grows at ground level, so they don't need to reach high for food the way the saddle-backed tortoises do.

-Tortoises lay eggs. Females lay their eggs in nest holes, which they cover and leave. Babies hatch in four to eight months. They are on their own from the beginning.
