No doubt they can live in a fish tank but it will certainly not do the fish any good. Turtles poo and piddle in the water and putrefy it making it deadly for fish to live in. They also bite chunks out of unwary fish. Please use your brains and don't try to mix Amphibians with fish. It can not and will not work in an enclosed aquarium.

∙ 14y agoIt is unwise to put any fish in with Amphibians or Reptiles. The water is poisoned by their excreta etc. and the fish will eventually be killed by the bad water if they are not eaten by the turtles.

∙ 11y agoYes. Turtles are very fond of any fish.
However, turtles should normally not be kept with fish. Turtles produce a large amount of waste, resulting in very dirty water, resulting in dead fish.
I've kept a red eared slider with goldfish in a 55 gallon tank and had to change the water every two to three days, even with two filters.
A very large tank (several hundred gallons) can be used to keep one or two turtles and some large fish that can take care of themselves.
