I used to have two RES in a 55 gallon that ended up being two females. I had to put them up for adoption though because they were getting too big and I had no where to put them. THey went to a good home though. good luck with yours. Hope you have a bigger tank because they grow fast!
That's because that's not a real turtle

Yeah RES eventually grow to 10-12 inches (depending on their sex) and will need a 100-120 gallon tank or small pond. I am going to make a small pond out of a large Rubbermaid container once it outgrows the 55 gallon tank.
