A 20 gallon is a nice starter tank, eventually you will need a 100 gallon tank for 2 of them, but not for awhile. The water should be at least as deep as the turtles are long. It can be deeper as long as they do not seem to have a problem. Make sure you get the right lighting for them. Turtles need to have a UV light as well as heating. A reptisun 5.0 bulb will work fine for them.

Here is a care sheet for ya: http://hometown.aol.com/Mite37/AquaticTurtles.htm
