Questions about mexican walking fish & turtles?

Question

Is it okay to put an albino mexican walking fish in the same tank that i keep my 13cm Eastern Long neck turtle in? (it's a 4ft tank that is maintained at about 20 degrees celsius )

thanks in advance for your responses

Answer 1

No. Turtles, and most other aquatic animals try and eat their gills.

The best you could do is to keep them in the same tank, but to use a tank divider to keep them separated.

Another consideration I didn't think of before, is that if you use a filter in the tank, the gills on the axolotl will become reduced in size - they come from deep lake environments without a high oxygen concentration, so if they're in well oxygenated water, their gills shrink considerably (and I think the gills are part of their appeal).

Answer 2

No - the turtle is probable to be fascinated in the axolotl's gills and examine out to devour them. with the aid of fact such a lot of animals (which contains fish, frogs, etc.) see the salamander's gills as food, they're terrific housed basically with their very own form - or perhaps then, they ought to be subadults, on account that larval axolotls are canabalistic.

Answer 3

unless you want your turtle to EAT said fish.
