55 gallon aquarium with mississippi map turtle and convict cichlids

[redo7706]

can you put two mississippi map turtles in a 50 gallon tank with no other fish and stuff or will that be too crowded. i was going to get 2 maps and a fifty gallon tankl and make that the biggest tank i ever get.

by the way, i like the background for the tank :)

@redo7706 When they are full grown I would recommend a bit larger tank, 75 or so, but for babies and juvies up to a couple/few years 50 will be plenty

so the turtles don't need to have any dry ground to sunbathe or is it only if their water isn't warm enough for them?

[benjenings]

hows the fluval 405 do in that 55 gallon? im thinking of getting one?

It does well, no complaints. Keeps the tank clean and has a strong current. I still do regular maintenance though, even with being rated double what's in the tank.

Good luck
