Answer 1

The smallest turtles you can easily find are the Mud Turtles, Musk Turtles, and some of the Painted Turtles. They will all hit 5-6" as adults and would gladly eat the fish. Even the young turtles will harass them and eat fins.

For example- guppies are commonly used as turtle food!

Try a plastic turtle statue for now. Your fish will be happier!

Answer 2

When it grows a little, it will eat your fish, probably starting with your guppies. It's amazing to see a turtle swimming in pursuit of a feeder fish.

Answer 3

At first, the tank will be ok, but you will defiantly need to get a bigger tank. It will be ok for the tutle... the fish on the oher hand will be a good snack.
So, if you like your fish, I would say get a separate tank to house the turtle.

Answer 4

the turtle will try to eat a fish at any age

Answer 5

any aquatic turtle you get will eat your fish even hatchlings will chase a fish and sometimes get lucky

Answer 6

yes but it will eat your fish

Answer 7

it'll most likely eat your fish.
