  Sea turtles inhabit every ocean in the world except for the arctic ocean.  The arctic is far too cold to support a sea turtle.  As beautiful and magestic as they are, most sea turtles are not considered pets.  They would require much more expensive and elaborate care than most people would want to deal with. 

However there are fully aquatic turtles that you can keep in your fish tank.  To avoid confusion these are simply labeled “aquatic” turtles in pet stores.  Just make sure the fish in your tank and your aquatic turtle will be compatible with each other and you have a great addition to your fish tank. 

All turtles diets and living requirements are not the same, but with a little know how, pinpointing the diet and housing for your turtle doesn’t have to be a chore.  You could talk to the people at pet stores for ideas or check the internet. 

There’s a  lot to be learned.  If you don’t find what your looking for, there are several different books and turtle guides to teach you the ins and outs of caring for pet turtles.
