i have one res, and his name is rover he is 3.5 in long, i have him in a 20 gal tank and he is doin great and has been for a while, but i have been thinking about getting another res i have heard i will need an 80+ tank but i am supposed to have a 40 for one but i have 20 and he is fine do will a 40 be ok with 2 res?
Answers:
A 40 gallon will be fine for up to 4 inches TOTAL of turtle shell length, so no, a 40 gallon will be too small for 2 of that size. He may be doing "fine" in a 20 gallon, but he won't thrive and be at his healthiest--remember, they can grow up to 8 inches in length or more. See this website for details:

If the RES shells add up to 4 inches then your fine, but the more room they have the happier they will be and the longer they will live!
hope i helped
a 40 gallon will do fine for a long time, eventually you might need a large tank but a 40 is okay
