Can fresh water aquarium turtles and frogs live together in big enough space?

Question

Have about a 25 gallon tank will 2 turtles, little bigger thatn half dollar peoce and 2 aquarium frogs, nothing special, regular dwarfs live together?

Answer 1

No you do not want to do that. The turtle might, might not eat the frogs but that's not the questions.

Turtles are very messy and crap a lot. Your 25 gallon fishtank is hardly enough even for ONE small half dollar size turtle. Your will overload your bio filter and it will clog up very quickly. Also it will never be able to break down the ammonia into nitrates and nitrites. The frog (if not eaten) will get sick from the constant contamination. If that happens, your turtle will get sick sooner than later You are much better off just changing the water once a day. It takes a few seconds and it's virtually free.

Answer 2

No... the frog will become lunch. They will cohabitate for a while, but as the turtle get older, it becomes a better swimmer and proficient hunter. Frog will be toast - it's a matter of time. This is true for keeping fish with a turtle. :)

BTW, 25G tank is not very big. It's recommended for every inch of turtle shell, provide 10G of water. Your tank is getting tight already.

They may be OK for a year or so, but as they mature, unless you want a bloody mess, literally, I'd keep them seperate.

Oh, there is one way to keep a turtle and frogs and fish together without either being lunch is providing a huge habitat, over 100G tank or a pond. :)

Good luck.

Answer 3
