Depends on the kind of turtle. Most can but snappers cannot.
ANSWER
YA BUT NOT ANY SNAPPING TURTLES THEY WILL DIMEMBER ANY TURTLE EVEN ANOTHER SNAPPING TURTLE
Answer yes they can! even snappers can! i have a male red eared slider and a common snapper that have been in the same tank for over a year and they seem to get along just fine!
The only thing is you have to pick them up and handle them commonly and watch them both closely
do not take the fact that they can for granted pay very close attention to your turtles and keep all snappers away from children and especially watch them closely during feeding time
snappers attitudes are directly related to how well they are fed and treated
the more time you spend with them the calmer they become

∙ 12y agoas long as they have enough room, they should be ok. just make sure you watch them very closely to see how they react to each other. any form of agression and you will need to separate them, also an adult should not be put with a very small turtle, but you can co-habitate 2 that are fairly different in size, for example a 3 inch long shell with a 6 inch long shell should be ok

∙ 12y agowell i can only tell you off my own account. This is this i have 4 five year old red sliders which are in a pond and i saw lots of videos with turtles eating live fish. so off i go to pet shop get 6 golden orfes and guess what that was summertime and they still there and the turtles havent even eaten them. My theories to this is a pond there are lots of hiding spots for fish fish are pretty fast and my turtles used to me coming over dropping frozen fish and other pellets etc so ignoring or not having chance to see the live fish.
However i have seen you tube videos that show turtles eating fish in a tank so i guess they could eat them or do what mine do and dont.

How long is Turtle?
This depends on the species of turtle. The lifespans vary significantly from species to species. For example, big green sea turtles that live in the sea (obviously!) can live for 100's of years, whereas a small short-knecked Murray turtle that a lot of people have as pets (me included) can live up to around 50years. These can depend a lot upon the health of the turtle, and other factors.
Can small frogs and small turtles live together?
actually, they can. have at least one place or arch where the small one can hide. they will share the rock if its big enough but it is nice to have each turtle have its own space. if you see your big turtle chasing the little one, see if its male. (you can tell if the claws are bigger and the tail is fatter) if it is, put feeder fish in the tank, large ones and small ones. the large ones will keep the big turtle busy. and the small ones will be for the smaller turtle so he can learn to eat meat from the larger one. i have and have had large turtles and small turtles in the same tank. the get along fine. Hope i could help.
