It is never wise to mix animals from entirely different groups. Turtles are Amphibians and will wreck the water purity for tropical fish. They should be kept in a Terrarium not an Aquarium. In addition; most turtles are carnivorous, and will eat whatever fish they are housed with.

Can yellow bellied turtles go in an tank of guppies?

They certainly can but it should never be done. Turtles will completely foul/poison the water for any kind of fish. A "Vivarium" which is part water and part land, with a warm spot for sun baking is what Turtles require. An "Aquarium" is a place where fish are kept. It is completely filled with water, has a heater if it contains tropical fish like Guppies, a fully cycled filter and regular weekly water changes of at least 50%.

Can turtles be in the same tanks as fish?

I think it depends on the species. I have had two small red-eared sliders and two rather large gold-fish (they look like koi) in the same tank together. You must make sure that the fish have enough room to swim comfortably and that the water is not too deep for the turtles. It worked for me but the turtles refused to go in the water because they were afraid of the fish.

Why should people stop killing turtles?

They are endangered, and without them it could mess up the food pyramid. Like sea turtles eat fish and if there are no sea turtles the fish population will go up and be to big so there won't be enough food for them. And in many Asian stories, sea turtles bring good luck to people who save them. And sea turtles are beautiful for people to watch and be amused.
