Hi, Thanks for the video. Question can you please list every fish you have in your aquarium setup & the type of turtle you have, please? I want your same collection of fish & same type of turtle in my new 400 gallon fresh water tank. I really like the way the fish & turtle interact but i need the full list of every single fish you have & turtle type. Just so that i can easily order my new school of fish & turtles for my tank. I promise to post a video for you of my setup. But i need help with choosing cool fish & turtles.

Hey have a question would really like a response when possible can you put a turtle with a giant gourami I wonder because it has a long dangly feelers on the bottom of the fish which fish use to navigate the bottom of the ground and those feelers are really long however it is a large and aggressive fish so wondering if I can mix it to extremely aggressive even could take on my Oscars and kill them if I let it but I took the Oscar out obviously I took the Oscar out and he is with a bunch of other cichlids and he is fine and also the Oscar is almost nearly full-grown and no match for the guarana my Grammy's about 14 in big and growing possible 15 in at current size despite the size I feel that the turtle would probably have a worst bite than the gourami considering it snaps

@@nicolemorin6795 there's a big risk on both sides but more so for the gourami feelers. There are two ways this can work out. Either yhey are introduced when the gourami is young and small and more agile and active to avoid being bitten. By the time it gets bigger and slower, the turtle wouldve lesrnt it is not food. Or introduced when it is big which means it should be in a tank or pond of substantial size making it very possible just base off the size of the habitat. But if the giant gourami is grown out and kept in a tank that is only just fitting, that will be tok dangerous. Remember that no matter, a level of risk remains.

I started with a 20 gal. about 2 months or so ago and had 1 slider, 1 goldfish, a koi and a pleco. All was well and koi outgrew the turtle and is now twice his size. Added another slider about a month ago, upgraded to a 75 gallon tank and added 2 smaller koi. Big mistake because I noticed when feeding this morning that one of the new kois is no longer in tank. I searched high/low and all I can come up with is that they ate it...Sucks!

A lot of it depends on the species of turtle. Northern Map Turtles are one of the best choices when it comes to keeping turtles and fish together. In the wild, their diet is mostly insects and crustaceans. RES are very aggressive, and fish are their primary food source.

My turtle has like 5 minnos and 1 goldfish as tank mates she once in awhile chases them but can't catch or likes the company of. As long as I feed her she seems to ignore the fish and they get along just fine. All were initially feeder fish to begin with but she ate the ones she either didn't like or caught off gaurd and ate what she could and lost interest in chasing the rest. Feeder goldfish is to big now for her to try going after and the minnos have hiding places and mostly stay in a group so she no longer messes with them either. I feed my turtle on one side of the tank and the fish on the other so they don't compete for food and it keeps them seperated and focused so they don't have any issues. I would like to add a few other fish but don't know what kind to add just yet as my turtle did eat a plecostomas I added awhile back rip sqweegy but have yet to replace him as a plecostomas is a pricey fish to replace over and over. Love your videos and experience. Would like to see your turtle ramp and bask spot if you have one and how you set it up looks homemade and looks great.

There were initially 18 fish; 2 died due to suffocation as they got stuck on an ornament, one got killed by her own mate after breeding, I sold five and one is in my shrimp tank now. That leaves us 9 fish but I recently got another fish so that makes 10 again. Sorry for not naming the fish, otherwise this comment wouldve been too long

@@SGBeardedAquarist Yes the Convict was doing amazing and got bigger than my juvi jack dempsey. I also have a surviving gold fish in there that is huge. I always put fish in through the acclimation process with bag of fish in tank and keep turtle out for a long time (30-90 min) so the fish get familiar with the hiding spots and such. My canister filter tap had broke (eheim pro 2) and I reorganized how water flowed. I seen the convict get caught. Not sure if the new flow of water made it underestimate its options of how to get away or what but I had high hopes. I have Canister and 2 power heads so there is a lot of current. My turtle is big though (8 inch shell from bottom measurement). I have seen exactly what you say where if the fish is very ACTIVE, it loses interest. At first I thought turtle only liked bright fish but that was not the case. I have some good hiding spots and bridges which i see the dempsey take advantage of. Here are my list of fish below. My turtle was always significantly bigger than all of them. Great Danillo's - bought a school of like 5 and down to my last 1. They lasted over 6 months, still not sure how they get caught but they did the best. Fast, short fins, active, seem intelligent Barbs - fast but not that active. They did ok but possibly water parameters caused them to give up. I just started seeing them dissappear. Last 3 went missing all in the same night. Goldfish - only 1 survived and still alive till this day. Turtle still tries to get it from time to time but too fast Big Snail - no chance. Sooner or later turtle gets too bored and goes after it Convict - Did well but...(story above) Jack Dempsey (Juvy) - doing great and still growing (2 inches tops) BTW, this is in a 75 gal now. I want to try Haps but hear they grow fast and eat other fish so want jack dempsey to get descently bigger before I try to introduce one. Was thinking of putting a bala shark but was told they get aggressive and big. Dont want the turtle to have issues since the turtle is the primary focus of tank.

Wow thank you for sharing! I would have thought that by the time a turtle is 8 inches itll be too big, slow and more herbivorous to be that interested in fishes. You mentioned barbs, what kinda barbs were they? And yes, bala sharks get huuuuuge. Not sure about aggressiveness but just housing them itself would be an issue.

@@SGBeardedAquarist Thanks for responding! I have had the turtle for 8 months now roughly and it was probably 5-6 inches when we first got it, standard legal size I guess since you cant buy them too small. Mine has a diet of turtle sticks/pellots, shrimp pellots and assorted lettuce. It will literally eat anything in the tank, even the left over fish pellots and flakes. I am continuously making an effort to feed it a balanced diet and not over feed. I had tiger barbs. I had about 4 or 5 initially. They are fast, small fins, they did amazing! When I first introduced, I remember waking up to 1 on the floor, must have tried to get away from the turtle? But the others did well. They werent that active like the Giant Danillo's but they were fast and the turtle never got close to them. One day they were all gone and I think it may be related to water parameters. My son threw something in the water which may have impacted them, so I consider tiger barbs good options. I have a 75 gallon tank and dont plan to go any bigger so the shark (if it even survived) may not have been my best long term fit. I'm curious how an eel or other style of fish would work with the turtle.

I feel you about turtles eating anything; mine eats all the fish poop too. And yes its always a balance between their hunger and over feeding. Too little food and fish become the food. Too much and its bad for them. Keep me posted if you ever give other fishes a go! :)

I have a male river cooter loving turtle. He is sweet to me and to my goldfishes. Never hurt them and they had baby fishes recently. I have a 4000 gallon pond so I decided to buy a female for him. I got a female yellow belly slider a third of his size and much younger. Probably 4 months old and Joy my male is almost two yo. She chase the fishes and bite the tails. I noticed 2 with injuries in their tails. So I had to bring her to a 50 gallon tank until I decide what to do. I can give back to the store but I don't want because she is too cute and I love her already. Do you think by growing older she may calm down and stop chasing the fishes? I made the pond when Joy was one year old. Please help and thank you in advance.

Could an American bullfrog cohabit with a red-eared slider under any circumstances? Our local Petco sometimes accidentally imports tadpoles in with their feeders. I would love to "save" one, but if it turns out to be a bullfrog, then we would not have enough space to accommodate it. We also have a red-eared slider whom I was hoping we could house in a large outdoor enclosure. I know putting it with a turtle doesn't seem like "saving" it, but at least in a pond it would have a chance to escape, unlike in an aquarium that uses them as feeders. Adult bullfrogs are also somewhat less defenseless than tadpoles.

I notice your turtles are red ear sliders I have musk turtles do the same "rules" apply? I used to keep them in my 290 litre community tank until they saw their tank mates as food ... they now coexist happily in a different tank which is 190 litres. I commented on your video about introducing fish. I would appreciate some guidance. Having watched your other video I'm thinking of adding a mixture of Rosie, green and tiger barbs to their tank (maybe 2 of each) plus 3 clown loaches. As I stated in the tank already are 4 danios, 4 minows and 4 guppies that are surviving.

Hi man! I just have a question for you. I have a 50 gallon aquarium and I have a western painted turtle 4" 15 Tiger barbs, a Rainbow shark and 4 convict cichlids (1 adult and 3 juveniles. It's all going really well, thanks to your videos! The thing is I fell in love with a yellow lab Cichlid in the fish shop and I really want to add one in my tank. I was planning on getting just one female to add to the thank. Do you think that's a good idea? I'm also entertaining the possibility that this cichlid can keep the aggression levels of the juvenile cichlids for when they start to mate.

Yeah I have one with my two turtles in my 55 gallon. My female is really aggressive so the Ylab can survive even with murderers. He also evicted the most dominant convict cichlid from his home.

If you get the turtle as a small baby probably. Some fish will pick on s real small turtle tho so watch out for that. If the turtle has never ate anything but turtle food and not fish once he grows big enough to hunt the fish he probably won’t bother. That’s been my experience for years. Bigger the tank better they chances they coexist as well. I have a 125 gallon and have never had a single issue between two painted turtles and various fish for years.

I'm watching this video for advise on keeping red-eared sliders with rosy-red minnows. Yeah, that's right. I'm actually trying to keep her with FEEDER fish! I don't want her to eat too many of them because of the thiaminase content. This video might help me to minimize predation. Thanks!
@avonavians2860

Another thing about rosy-red minnows is that when one fish is killed by a predator, it released chemicals to warn to others to go into hiding. A good survival strategy!
