Picked up this sweet lil thing at the local petshop in my old neighborhood...currently lives in a 20g long tank...has a neighbor in a goldfish...she is currently without a name...when she is a lil bigger she will join her 2 older siblings iris and titan in my indoor pond in the making..

Cute little guy. The last pic, is that your indoor pond? It looks way too small for three turtles.

Its the large cement mixing tub....right now the 2 in there are juveniles....the new lady is just a hatchling...I will be moving next year to a house...so they will be much better housed...im in nyc its the best I can do for now...going to build them a indoor pond...

Look into stock tanks as an adult enclosure. Many different sizes and shapes and, for the most part, cheaper than aquariums. Hatchling tank looks good.

I been reading up on them...dont like that it will rust over time...I much prefer a pond liner and build a wooden enclosure around it...in the new house...I will bld a much bigger one...I want to have 10 sliders again as I did growing up...we just adopted yesterday a yellow belly slider...

I don think ten sliders is realistic in an apartment. You would need a very large pond. Have you considered smaller species?

 

[Alex Z]

No no...We are moving into our next summer...there I will have a collection of them again...here we just have 4...the hatchling in the 20g and the 3 juveniles in the cement tub...going to build them a box to place the tub in and then the rest will be to bask on..

I understand. I'm saying keeping ten sliders indoors is going to be difficult. You'll need hundreds (500-1000) of gallons to house them properly. Smaller species won't require so much space. Or you might consider keeping less
