Would it be okay to use a 20 gallon aquarium that has been a home for a turtle for 2 fantail goldfish?

Okay so we've had this West African Painted turtle for about 2 years. Well just yesterday my mom bought a 50 gallon tank from Petsmart for him now since he's getting bigger. She said that i could have the 20 gallon tank for my 2 fancy fantail goldfish that are currently in a big goldfish bowl until they get bigger. Would it be okay since the turtle has lived in it? It just needs to be cleaned out really good and thats pretty much it.
I might get a 30 gallon or larger tank later on but the only thing is at pet specialty stores an even at Wal-Mart they are kind of expensive.

Sure, there shouldn't be any problem. A 20 gallon tank might be too small for two goldfish, but I guess it's better than a bowl. If you wash your tank with just water, I don't think there will be any ill effects.

Very interesting…. a 100 gallon tanks are very expensive, I believe they are about 300 US dollars. Since I am in New Jersey, it is legal to own a turtle but illegal to buy (what a website told me) I can order one online still. Online Musk turtles are much more expensive then red ear sliders so I might go for the bigger tank. Also did you get those plants from a store, cause some people get plants from local ponds.

yeah turtles do make great pets if you have the time and look after them , if you get a musk turtle they will only grow to about 6 inches and would live in a 100 gallon , a 20 gallon would defently not to sutable for a adult turtle but ok as a started for a few months ,if your thinking about a red eared slider then you will probly need a bigger tank …and yes them plants are real ,

oh I see, I am seriously thinking about getting another pet and I am thinking about turtles. I have read about them and many people say a 20 gallon tank is a minimum but I think that is a bit small. The biggest I would go for would be 100 gallon. I plan to have two turtles though, would you recommend any size tank? and are those plants real or fake?
