Hey, I would go with the 90 if I were you ... it is going to be necessary eventually anyway!

Looks like you have a male (long-tail) and a female ... does the long-tail one also have longer nails?

This is my red eared slider. You will need to get a higher basking temp more like 90F water about 70F to 75F. You can ask what you want that is what people are here for, you don’t sound like a bug, lol ;) Ask away!!
