I have kept large craw dads in tanks with turtles and if the craw dad was same size as turtles or bigger it would try to kill them. and if the turtles were bigger they would hunt the craw fish, So you will need to see for yourselfon that one.

But you can put rosy reds (turtles will eat though), cleaner fish, goldfish(makesure that they can not be caught by turtles, because goldfish can carry a disease deadly to reptiles and amphibians.), fancy guppies, and anyother type of fish really.
But plant that can be put in there (I forgot their names lol) can be bought at any fish shop or petshop (any of those will be safe for your turtles)

ANOTHER THING i have found that along with fish, tadpoles are great tanknates and you can watch them turn into frogs over time, its great.
My Feeder bullfrog and leopard frog tadpoles (for snakes and salamanders) I have actually noticed grow faster when have other animals in the tank like turtles.
Good Luck!

if it is tiny u can put a cichlid in there about the same size... my cichlid and turtle have lived together for 2 years and swimm and hunt together... also for my new turtle (about the size of a coin) i have a leopard frog who is bigger than her ( not by much though)and they get along great :)
