what size are your tortoises? how about the pool? photos will help determine how much room is enough. has there been any aggressive displays of behavior?

well ones like 5 inches tops, the other 2 are like 1-2 inches. they seem friendly, and never agressive towards each other. the pools like 2-3 feet wide. i have pics in the photos and video section of my tortoises if you wanted to see! there in there indoor enclosure in those pics

The pool is ok for now but in a year or so you will have to get or build a bigger enclosure just depending on how fast they grow. My smallest Sulcatas which measure from about 4" down to 2" are in a 4' x 8' enclosure and they cover it all. They really like to roam around. :)
