the turtles are babies and aquatic and will eat feeder sticks and those little pebble thingys for food and a few snacks here and there.....will the turtles be able to swim with any other type of fish that isnt big?

Yes turtles and fish live together in the wild, but that's a pretty silly way to recommend it. In the wild, there is a virtually limitless amount of space for them both to live. In the wild, the fish are caught and are eaten - turle - predator, fish -prey. It's quite simple.
Electric labs are tough and fast and young ones grow fast, and adept at hiding. If you set up the tank well and incorporate good hiding spots, you might find it actually work out ok. at least for a while.

No they won't, millions of years of evolution has put turtles higher in the food chain than fish, and guess what turtles eat in the wild...?

yesss
fish and turtles
like in the wild or in nature?
sure you can put them together
and a good thing would be if they fish are bigger then the turtles
so the turtles wont attack them
i have done this i have had turtles for over 15 years so
