Answer 1

Hi

Yes u can but u got to keep the tank clean I mean by cleaning it every week. I got my turtle and pleco together my turtle is about 8" and pleco is about 8 “as well. At start I thought I would have to take him out because the turtle was going to it and bumping in to it. (Lol). But in the end after a week or 2 it was fine. But just keep a close eye on it for the 1st week or 2.

i would NOT do that, my sliders ate ALL my fish big and small fish

Answer 3

The turtles may try to eat the pleco!  It is so important with turtles to keep them very very clean.  This means strong filters and a way to change the water frequently.  Remember, filters do not remove ammonia waste.  Dirty water is the biggest cause of health problems and illness in turtles!!
