I wanted to say the following. The painter can go together with the maps,red ears and cooters,too. But the maps actually like deeper, clearer water, whereas res's/painters like sluggish, murkier water.

Some res's and cooters have interbred in the wild as well, which is the problem they're now facing in Florida. They create hybrids. The cooters, likewise-if they're the same as Florida cooters-are herbivores, not omnivores, like red ears.

The snappers I don't know much about except that you should never pick them up by the tail, watch out for their expert climbing skills, and be careful when feeding them together. They lunge and chomp.
