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.
