Star...they all get along as long as you have plenty of room and food.
I have 5...fighting at times cause even though I may toss in 20 grapes in their pond they all fight over the one grape. No fighting otherwise..so now I hand feed everyone one then toss the rest.
I have 4 red eared and a yellow bellied.
These guys in my pond get 500 plus goldfish a month. Leafy greens and fruits 4 times a week and plus electricity plus I also feed dried cubed blood worms or tubiflex worms at least 5 times a week. heater, GOOD filter, UVA/UVB rep light, basking dock. Feeders, greens, fruits, dried turtle food. and electricity? YIKES that’s a lot of $$$$$$.
Source(s): Aquatic are a life long commitment. I am no expert, just been blessed with 2 healthy red eared sliders girls for 36 yrs. I wish you luck. I have been a mom to Two 36 yr old females for 36 long yrs.( plus an 8,5 male red eared sliders and 2 yr yellow bellied old male adopted from this site now for the last 7 yrs now). - Anonymous1 decade ago
You never know. Sometimes they can get territorial as hatchlings; sometimes they can tolerate one another throughout their lives. As Peek said, make sure that they have plenty of room and that each one gets food.
