  1. No..they will be a meal. All will be good eatin just like in the wild.

    Did you know that they need to bask under a reptile light for  8 to 10 hrs a day for the vitamin D that  they need to grow.

    Leave the heater on 75 to 78 degrees always.

    Their water needs to be clean otherwise they get sick easily from dirty water cause they p**p allot.

    You need a good filter system!

    You need to feed them feeder guppies, goldfish or minnows for protein and calcium daily.

    They need leafy greens for vitamins at least 3 to 4 times a week.

    And they need a big tank 55 gallons or more..


  2. Assuming you are not in the USA whre the only legal red eared sliders have a shell diameter of more than four inches.....

    The cichlids will eat the frogs and nibble off the turtles' toes.  Then the turtles, assuming they survive that long, will eat the cichlids.  You have incompatable species there, need three different tanks.

    BTW, the reason the sliders have to be that large here is that they all carry salmonella when they are small.  Those that it doesn't kill by the time they get to be four inches across get to be sold. Wash your hands with soap after touching them or anything in or near their tank.

  3. i think the chiclid will probably become lunch, what kind of chiclid is it? the african dwarf would probably be fine if the tank is big enough

  4. The sliders will eventually eat anything else in the tank.
