can my turtle live with fish

Question
I have a 10 gallon tank with two baby red eared sliders an have a wisper filter. Is it safe to put a couple gold fish in or a snail as well.

Answer
Hi LouLou,

I would have to say no to the goldfish. Turtles love to eat them, and if the goldfish are bigger than the turtle they will chase the fish around and pick at it until it is crippled. The snail however will be fine, you can also put a plecostamus fish in the tank as well. Plecos are a very tough and boney fish so the turtles hardly ever mess with them. I hope this helps.
