I have a sucker (tank cleaning) fish in with two sliders. they do fine. the fish is too big for them to take down, and too small to hurt them. somtimes he looses a piece of tail = P

yeah, I have different kinds of fish with my turtles.
and I am not going to garanty that you wont get a half eatin sucker fish... cause even if the turtles cant eat it they will still hunt it and kill it if alll possible.
Goodluck!

i had 12 fish with my turtles and they all lived fine for a year and a bit then my turtles just suddenly ate all but 3 of them

in other words it can work but i tried puttin a couple of other fish in and they attacked them straight away

i buy quite a few fish at a time and put them in my enclosures. i buy rosy reds (minnows) and commet gold fish and i have found that the rosy reds are too fast for the turtles. last time i bough 20 of each. all the gold fish are gone but all the rosys are there.
