I would not recommend keeping them together. Turtle harvest many types of bacteria that your fish are not used to. Your fish would probably become ill and die trying to fight the bacteria. Also, your turtle (depending on size) could easily kill a fish, whether on purpose or unintentional. I would suggest separate tanks. Good luck

Can you put turtles in an aquarium with fish?

No because Oscar fish grow very large and the amount of water that the fish would need is way more than you could have for a turtle in captivity. Actually, I don't know of any fish that could live with a turtle in captivity, due to the amount of water they each need.


If you put tadpoles with fish what will happen?

If you leave the tadpoles in with the fish they will compete for the same food and oxygen in the water. Make sure you have enough room in the bowl for your fish and tadpoles. When the tadpole grows it would like a spot to bask out of the water and rest.


Can you put two turtles in the same tank?

It depends on the species and size of the turtles. Many turtle species do not thrive in the same tank due to aggression or differences in habitat requirements. It's best to research the specific needs of each turtle species before attempting to house them together.


Can you put turtles in the same cage together if one is bigger than the other turtle?

yes, you can. i have a very large turtle and a smaller turtle in the same tank and they get along fine. if you see the large one chasing the other, it may have food in its mouth so feed them at opposite ends of the aquarium. or, if your big turtle is a male, he might want to mate. to detract them from chasing each other have a hiding place for the small one and give feeder fish to keep the turtles busy. and i suggest each turtle having their own basking rock. my turtles get along fine.

Can seahorses live in an aquarium with a red eared slider turtle?

No, and for a number of reasons. First, seahorses are saltwater fish, and RES are freshwater animals. They could not live in the same environment. Secondly, a turtle would eat a seahorse. Turtles eat smaller fish. Third, seahorses are not available in many countries as they are a protected species. Fourth, even if you were to have a seahorse, they are very difficult to feed and keep alive. They are recommended only for very experienced aquarium keepers. Sorry!
