Reptiles dont play.
Fish, snails, and plants will become eaten. That is if the ammonia the turtle excretes doesnt kill them all first.

First of all, your tank is a bit small for a 6" RES. We want to see a ratio of 10 gallons of actual swimming space per inch of turtle.
Next- not many animals can survive for long with a good-size RES, but try:
- big snails
- armored cats
- small, fast fish
Most aquarium plants are fine. The RES will snack on several species, but not usually a big deal.

well. the tank you can put plants in it but the turtle will just eat it because its food so your tank will be a mess. any fish they will eat because it is food but im not sure about the snails. maybe a crab idk
