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

No - the turtle is likely to be attracted to the axolotl's gills and try to eat them. Because so many animals (including fish, frogs, etc.) see the salamander's gills as food, they're best housed only with their own kind - and even then, they should be subadults, since larval axolotls are canabalistic.

Hehe I used to have a walking fishi, hehe his name was axel, hence the name lol.
Umm... It probably wouldn't be wise to put them into a tank together... My turtle is a guts, he eats everything and anything in the tank, whether its live plants, cleaner snails, fish food. One time we bough him over 100 bait fish and over night he ate them all, there were like only 10 left...
Just to be safe I wouldn't put them together.. My turtle bit off one of my silver sharks tail, which caused him to die.. =(
I hope this helps.
