uhhh......??

i have 3 turtles all together, 2 of them live in the same tank. the 2 that live together are 4 inches and 6 inches long. the red belly turtle ,the larger on them, is for sure a male. he use to try to seduce his poop sometimes (he would tickle his poo with his claws) the red eared slider, the smaller turtle, i think is a male, it has sort of long claws and tail...but i'm not sure if it could be female or male.

any way, to cut this short, the larger turtle is trying to seduce the smaller turtle (tickling the turtles face with his claws) and the smaller turtle gets on top of the larger turtle while the larger turtle swims around and follows him alot.

they are quite peaceful with each other, have been together for about 2 weeks and i havn't seen any problems. if i see any mating i will seperate them. if i see any agression i will seperate them.

does any one think they will fight? should i do any thing for now?

I would suggest keeping the red bellied turtle (Emydura subglobosa right?) separate.. Not because of aggression or hybridization, but different species of turtles can carry different diseases and such and transfer them to eachother..
