I have a baby red-eared slider turtle... what other pets can I keep in the same tank as my turtle?

Question

Right now I have my turtle in a 10 gallon tank, but I will be getting a bigger tank soon. Any information you can give would be GREAT!

Answer 1

You can put little minnow type fish in the tank with it. As well as frogs.

Answer 2

Baby turtles eat fish, small frogs, etc., so please do not do those... unless they are meant as turtle food!

If your tank was taller and set up differently, you could do tree frogs, etc- but in all honesty there are not a lot of things that can share a turtle tank well. Even adding another turtle is awkward since they will eventually bite at each other if the tank is too small.

Answer 3

I have a 30 gallon tank and I have 2 small turtles, 2 frogs, and some small minnows. If you choose to put more than one species then make sure you have somewhere that they can get away in case they don't get along. It may be a while before they get used to each other (mine did).

Answer 4

With the exception of a similar turtles species id say none as noted they will nip all fish, could do the same to frogs and newts and they need a different tank type set up than lizards mixing reptile species is best left to pros and zoos

Answer 5

Keep them apart. RES are very territorial and aggressive. I wouldn't want them in an aquarium of less than 60 gallons right now and both of them will grow quickly. You could get away with a wading pool for them, though. Still, separate tanks are safest.

Answer 6

i love turtles. when you get a bigger tank you can have a terrarium with a little water fall. you can have frogs and lizards with him.if you put a littel pond i would put little guppies in there for you and you turtle.

Answer 7

My turtle eats anything that moves in her tank, so I had to take her out. Theyll eat everything living.

Answer 8

If you plan on putting fish in with it also plan on the fish being eaten.
