I want to get a turtle. I am using a old fish tank that is maybe 10 or 15 gallons (maybe smaller). Will this amount of space supply a happy turtle? What species is best for this amount of space? Any other pet suggestions? I can only use this tank.

Musk turtles. They don’t require a basking area, and don’t grow very large.
Edit: With a turtle in the tank, you won’t be able to put other pets in the same tank. A turtle is a predator, and will either kill or stress any other animal in the same tank.
no way a turtle needs at least a 50 gallon tank and if not larger.
tehy need a lot of certain types of lamps certain food
This is hard to answer completelyu as you didn’t say what kind.
plan on spending several hundred dollars on a habitat for a turtle.And is you have then get teh much larger tank
sorry but you should get two because they tend to get sluggish and depressed looking without a companion, and no it won’t be large enough because little turtles grow to be at minimum 5in in diameter and that is not enough space for it.
