Keeping turtles with oscars

Question
Hi, Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have a tank set up with 2 oscars in it they are only about 2-3 inches big at the moment. I was wondering if there was any types of turtle that you can keep with oscars because I really fancy getting one, can you help please? Many thanks James

Answer
Aquatic turtles tend to eat or harass fish, need basking sites out of the water, are really messy eaters (demanding about 2=3 times the filtration of fish), and need big tanks for exercise- about 10 gallons of water per inch of turtle.

Given these issues, I really can't think of a turtle that would do well in this sort of tank.
