Pretty sweet. How big is the tank and how big are your turts?
If you don't mind me asking, what was the price range on a tank like that? My turts are small but gotta think about the future.

what size tank is that and do your turtles ever eat the fish if not what type of fish are they. I also see that on the left of you tank you have something what is that

Those turtles need more space and they will need increasingly more (surface area) as they grow. How large are they now about 5 - 6 inches? The tank is pretty but its too small.

Well the tank is to small for 2 turtles that size. You will need at least a 90gal if not bigger. Also, the basking area on the left does not seem to have a basking light, and it looks damp on the basking area too. It needs to be completly dry other wise they can not dry off thier plastron which could lead into some health problems from constantly being wet...

I can't even tell if there's a basking spot. I hope so.
The colors are nice.

The turtles need more space. It doesn't seem to have a good basking area from what I can see. Aren't you scared that they'll eat your fish? Also it's a freshwater setup but it has lots of saltwater decorations and that's strange looking to me but that's just my opinion.
