No! The tank needs to be much much bigger, at least a twenty gallon. By the way, box turtles also require both land and water. I would also suggest not keeping them together, as the turtle may or may not try to eat the beta fish.

Can a betta fish live with a baby regular turtle?

There are 2 reasons why you should not grow your Betta fish with a baby turtle: 1. Amphibians poison the water for fish 2. Turtles, especially baby turtles like to eat live, flashy things. Chances are, if you place your Betta with a baby turtle, it will be long gone before any pollution affects it... If you have an older, smaller turtle, it may work. Older turtles like to eat plants rather than live things, and if you have a LARGE tank, with water no deeper than 10 inches, and lots of places for your Betta to hide in case your turtle gets a little curious, it will work. Just make sure to introduce your fish to your turtle slowly, by placing it in a small, see through plastic bag inside the aquarium to get the turtle used to the sudden movements of the fish. good luck!
