bit risky buying something that you dont actually know what it is lol. i think you should spend alot of time on this forum reading up about turltes. the conditions change depending on the species so if you dont know what turt you have then chances that you have them right is slim.
get your photos uploaded to the net if you cant figure photobucket out and link us to it. the people on here will be able to indentify them and we can all help you from there.
the thing is mate, too many people get turtles and realise that they cant look after them cause the advice they got from the pet shop is all lies. the rule for a set up is too have atleast 40ltr to 1 inch of a turtles shell i.e if you have a 4 inch turtle you need 160ltr of water and also you need a filter that 2x your water.
anyway you will enjoy your turltes cause they are great to watch and quite active.
get those pics up mate
