Habitat - Indoor :: fish to add to tank?

[Blue Flamingo]

I put a pleco and few fancy guppies in mine. The guppies lasted about 20 seconds and the pleco lasted half a nite. I think he only lasted that long because he could blend in with the rocks and the turtle didnt know it was there.

I recently got a male platy and I put it in Serra's tank and she never made any move towards the fish... the fish is smaller than her, but bigger than her head. She had numerous chances where she could take a bite out of him, but she ignores him. It's like she avoids him...lol
I named him Orange Juice, since he's bright orange

wow but ummmm........why wouldnt u named him or her sunny? thats a bi name so any sex can have it plus its simpler just a suggestion

lol well I could tell he is a male since male platys have a curved anal fin and females don't. Sunny is a nice name, though.

Got a Chinese Algae eater for my 2 in. turtle............he lasted 8 days. Felt sorry for the little guy.

The turtle will end up eating the fish if there to small. I suggest getting fish that are bigger than your turtles head that way your turtle can not eat them.

[Tenodera]

getting biger fish will just mean the big fish would die a slow painful death. The turtle will take chunks out of it everynow and then...

I just saw this forum, and it made me laugh so hard because your turtles love fish!!

i had a goldfish in the tank for 3 years when the turtle was around 3-4 inches and lasted for that long. one day my mom decided to put a beta fish, and the next day both fishes were dead.

just wanted to share mystory, thanks!

Yup, you never can tell what's going to happen from one day to the next when it comes to mixing turtles and fish. Welcome to the forum, by the way!
