Getting a turtle
After thinking about this for some time im going to be getting a turtle (red eared slider to be exact) and i was just wonding i was thinking of keeping him in a 20 gallon long tank and then when he gets to be about 6'' im going to move him into this mini pond tht to my guess would prob be around a 90 gallon tank would this be ok for the turtle or not enough room? what should i keep i te tank basking light? what type of bottom sand or fine rock? i heard they are very messy so besides the constant water changes what type of filter would be best for it? Should i keep a couple air stones in there to keep the water moving? What food would you recomend besides pellets and feeder fish (would aquarium plants work)? 75 through 80 degrees for the water would be good for it right? what type of basking platform would you recomend? Thanks for any help. Also could Sliders be kept with newt or would the turtles eat the newts? Thanks again for any help
