Okay so I have two 6 inch red eared sliders in a 20 gallon tank and they need an upgrade, so I was wondering what kind of aquariums do yall like the best, I want to get a 90 gallonImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1421607680.576467.jpg

But was wondering if there was anything that's cheaper and better than a 90 gallon?

Okay I also have a second question, if I got the 90 gallon aquarium, would it be big enough to put two yellow bellied sliders with the red eared sliders? Because I want a tank big enough to put my two baby yellow bellied sliders with them when they get a little bigger. Okay thanks!

Don't buy that yet!

I think $460 is really expensive for a tank. I have seen way cheaper ones that are of same size. But then again I don't really know. You should wait for someone else to help you with it.

4 sliders means you'll need a huge tank. Your red ears can still double in size. I would recommend a pond or stock tank. Rubbermaid sells a 300 gallon stock tank

Yeah I've been wanting to get a pond, but we're moving out of our house in three years as soon as I graduate so we'll wait, and yeah I'll look into those Rubbermaid stock tanks, thanks!

PetCo has a $ per gallon sale going on where I am, you might want to call and ask. Or search Craigslist, many sell big aquariums for cheap there.

If you have that many turtles I would get a 300 gallon rubbermaid stock tank. You will need the room

I agree they need a 300g stock tank. Google turtle stock tanks and you will find some nice ideas. Can you set one up outside? Not mine, i have a 150 for one small guy. image.jpg

I really want to get a stock tank but here's the deal, I have an autistic brother and I'm afraid about him going outside thinking its a pool and playing in it and injuring one of the turtles.
