Definitely watch the aggression with Emys, they can be brutal towards each other. I had to separate some of this year's hatchlings from one another a few times. My adults live in an outdoor pond and are currently hibernating.

I recieved the book today and am very impressed! Well worth the price.
Do you have a mixed group or just one male to a number of females?

Sounds like a nice group. However, do be careful if keeping them all together, as they are prone to tail biting. Be prepared to have separate enclosures if this habit starts to become a problem.

I have already planned to seperate anyway, just to be able to monitor feeding and to avoid aggression!
Thanks
