Turtles primarily live in water (fresh waters, Oceans) and have webbed front feet to make swimming easy. They eat both plants and fish (omnivores) Tortoises live primarily on Land and have normal feet. They eat only plants and leaves, shrubs. (herbivorous) Turtles live much longer than tortoises Turtles migrate from one place to another swimming mighty oceans, tortoises pretty much stay in a place.

A turtle lives in a wet environment and the tortoise lives in a dry environment. In US English all shelled reptiles tend to be known as turtles although specific species may be referred to as "tortoises" or "terrapins". In British English (and among zoologists) a distinction is made between tortoises (strictly terrestrial), terrapins (amphibious, generally freshwater) and turtles (mostly aquatic; usually marine).

Can slider turtles and painted turtles be in the same tank?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. However, turtle shells should not be painted. The paint prevents the shell from growing with the turtle, and it amounts to slow suffocation and death for the painted turtle. first he did not paint the turtle that's the type of turtle he has second yes they can be in the same tank.
