I am a New RES mom. I have a baby RES, (size of a quarter) are there any fish that are compatable, that I can add to the tank? I have heard mixed ideas on this topic.
Thank You, Elisa

welcome to the board Smile

turtles will try to eat anything smaller than their size including fish which they LOVE to eat actually

If you want to get fish to just watch them swimming around, I would get some rosey red minnows, the turtles will eat them, but they are not that expensive, I have about 20, I say about because I haven't counted them lately. Very Happy

I also have two big red guppies that have survived for about 4 months, they may make it to old age, if they quit jumping out of the water when I am cleaning their tank Laughing

, I had them in a small container while I cleaned the tank and one of them jumped out of the water, I'm glad my sister saw it. Very Happy
