Question 10g tank... are there any turtles I can put in there?
I have a 10g tank, which I know is quite small.... But I wanted to know if there are any types of turtles that could go in there (aquatic or semi aquatic).... I Don't know all them, and their habitats as I have never had a turtle, so advice is appreciated!

Given the sizes they'll all grow as adults I'd say a 10g will be too small. Also bare in mind you'd need to create a 'land' part for the turtle to get out on to.

Ever considered setting it up for a group of African Dwarf Frogs only?

No turtle can live and grow in a 10gallon tank...

If you really want a turtle I suggest you do all the necessary research before getting one. Turtles are very expensive to maintain!

I have baby turtles in a 10 gallon but they out grow the tank very fast and it best to have larger tanks for the turtles as they grow, I recommend Eastern Painted Turtles because they grow slower than most other semi aquatic turtles but make sure to upgrade tankn size as they grow!

Not many turtles would be comfortable in a 10g......I suggest getting a larger tank or habitat. They can get very expensive and you don't want to loose your turtle or investment.
