Hello! I wanted some suggestions on what type of turtle I should get for my situation. I’ve never owned turtles before but I have reptile experience from a snake and a fair amount of freshwater fish experience. I bought a canister filter that pumps 200-300gph (I previously planned on buying a 40g breeder) which I guess acts as my size restriction as I don’t want to spend too much more on filtration if I don’t have to. I wouldn’t want a turtle that’ll regularly require water changes more than every three days or so with this filter, but I do have some floor space to work with.

My local shelter always has some Red Eared Sliders which would be ideal, but the biggest “tank” I can get is a 110gallon tub (would a 10g difference be a huge problem? I hear that the ideal size is 120) but I worry about filtration on a budget.

Thanks for any suggestions!
