Is it safe to keep RES and painted turtles together. i currently have 2 RES in a huge aquarium, probably between 175-200 gallons. Would it be ok to get a painted to put in there?

It will most likely be alright. After you put the Painted Turtle in there, if you see one or both of the RES going towards it, make sure they don't snap or try to attack it. If they don't, it should be ok.
