This section is about how to catch and keep a red-eared slider (a type of turtle) in an aquarium.
Step 1. Catch the turtle. Here is a link to a wikipedia page on their habitat. (you can buy one if you don't want to catch it)
Step 2. Aquarium. You need an aquarium. Min size is 10 gallons. You need something sticking out of the water for them to take sunbaths on. For a smaller aquarium, a large rock will do nicely. For a larger one, you will need a large piece of driftwood with a rock or two screwed to its bottom to hold it down.
Step 3. Food. I use Wardley Pond Stix Fish Food, available at walmart.
Step 4. Filter. You will need a filter. If your aquarium is 5-15 gallons, you can use this filter. If your aquarium is 10-20 gallons, use this filter. If your aquarium is 30-60 gallons use this filter. If your aquarium is larger than these and smaller than 155 gallons, use this filter.
If your aquarium is larger than 155 gallons and smaller than 205 gallons, use this filter.
Step 5. You are done! Just make sure to feed your turtle(s) every day.
