Can terrapins and fish go in the same tank?

It is not recommended to house terrapins and fish in the same tank as terrapins are known to eat fish. Additionally, terrapins require different water conditions, such as a basking area, which may not be suitable for fish. It is best to keep them in separate tanks to ensure the well-being of both species.
