I don't know much about keeping 2 turtles together but I would do a lot of research before getting 2. I had 2 red ear sliders (female ) together for 5 years until the larger one decided she didn't want to share her space. They were in a 65 gallon short tank and there was enough room for 2 turtles but the larger one tried to kill the smaller one. I had to separate them and the smaller turtle got a 30 gallon tank. be prepared if they do not get along.

Mississippi map turtles are very unagressive, because they are very shy, and since the males are smaller, they tend to get along. Im getting one and ive done TONS of research.
