Yes you really can in fact they could be friends. Turtles are generally vegetarians(lol) and my school pond has 3 turtles and 20 fishes for 4 years...really! Just make sure that those fishes are not too small...

Even a baby turtle will make a big algae eater's life hell.

Turtles eat fish most of the time so thats not a good idea.

Algae eaters tend to do OK, as do things like armored cats or other fast, short-finned fish.

No because the turtle will eat the fish and there will be no point in trying.

The turtle will either eat or try to eat the fish.

A BIG algae eater. He might eat a small baby one like the tiny ones they sell in pet stores. Get a plecostomus since they are "armored," and get one that won't fit in his mouth... make sure the tank has filtration also.
