Animal living with turtles.

Question
What pond animals can live with one painted turtle(male or female)in a 50 gallon pond? Also, can I heat my pond (I live in San Diego, California).

Answer
Managing a pond is not something I can help with a lot, but you can contact your local California Turtle and Tortoise Club at http://www.tortoise.org for help tailored to your location.

You can also try a forum like http://www.turtleforum.com to meet with experienced keepers who have more experience with ponds.

Good luck!
