I guess it is time for me to jump in here and add my two cents. With
few exceptions, no one has answered your question. It seems most
responses are lumping all turtles into the same category. All
hominoid (monkeys, gorillas and humans) are not alike, or are all
birds or turtles. I am not going to be guilty of giving you advice
about something I am not qualified to answer. My advice is to use
your favorite search engine and research Red Earred Slider Turtles on
your own. I have two turtles, fish and plants and have absolutely no
problems. Notice I did not mention the species of turtles because I
don't want to influence your decision.

Good luck, Glenn

everything tore up.....and don't want to be mean to the turtle either...does
anyone mix turtles and fish and plants in the same pond.....Thanks in
