Can you keep cichlid fish with red eared slider turtle?
Shoaibali123
It is not wise to attempt to keep amphibians with fish. They need totally different conditions. A Turtle needs a set up with both wet and dry (basking) areas this is called a vivarium and the animal can choose whether it wants to be dry or wet. Amphibians also Poo and Piddle. This poisons the water so that fish can not survive in it. Fish need an aquarium where the whole thing is filled with water. The basic rules for keeping fish successfully are :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week.. If you follow the above rules your fish will stand a chance of surviving and being healthy. If you fail in any of them I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick.

∙ 13y agoDo you mean for them to live together or for the turtle to have food? Depending on the size of your RES, it will most likely think you a great pet owner for providing food. However our 5+ yr old RES has a single fish that is the size of a guppy that she has not eatten. Its been in her tank for about 2 months. She however eats every other small fish provided.

Do all red-ear slider turtles eat fish?
Yes. The most common fish a Red Eared Slider will eat is Commet Goldfish. Red eared sliders will eat fish, but fish are full of worms and parasites which will contaminate your filter. For an indoor slider I suggest only pellets and veggies. Plus they eat parts of the fish and the rest you would have to clean out right away. My slider loves just his pellets, he snubs romaine lettuce and any other veggie I have tried. Ice berg lettuce is not good for sliders either. I have a 4 year old slider that is 5 inches long he is in a 40 gallon tank alone.
