pond .... is there any other enclosures ... my balcony is not that big to have a pond
Just like a watering hole, for them to go in and soak. Since it's the balcony do you have at least 4'x8' enclosure for each of them? If there is not enough space, probably 4'x4' for each.

The red eared slider is least concern in the conservation status, while the chinese striped-necked turtle is endangered.

Well it is not big enough but if that is the only space you can work with, there is not much choice.

why is it being sold if its endangered ?.... oh my god
Most probably they just catch them from the wild and sell, how much did they sell it to you? I am not very sure about turtles but red eared sliders are very cheap in Malaysia.

Do you mean cm? No, that's way too small in my opinion, you should get something 4 times that size.

The stripes are below the eyes to the neck, the yellow stripes.
