do you still have your clown loaches?

Coolest thing ever, my tiger barbs surround my turtle at night and clean off his shed. First day with the barbs had the turtle swimming after them, but it only took a few hours for him to realize he can't catch them. During the first night I noticed the tiger barbs surrounding his legs, arms, and neck while he's in his sleeping position (sometimes when I come observe he wakes up and they're right in front of his face, but he doesn't seem interested in them at all), and this happens every night now, and the amount of shedding skin that I need to clean out has fallen to none at all. Best investment I've ever made for my turtle tank.

just found your channel and i’m binging every video, i can tell u put a lot of time and dedication in ur videos and i love channels like yours. keep working hard and always remember to enjoy the hobby as well. amazing videos :)

Thank you so much for your videos...my apartment doesn't allow pets aside from turtles and fish so I'm interested in having both and your videos are a big help in researching and planning for when I do get them

Great video! I had great success with my eastern painted with mbuna because there were rocks and they can dwell but just an fyi for anyone reading this, as the turtle matures and gains size and more instinct it may be a matter of time before it becomes inevitable they will be picking off fish. The fish in my experience will be prone to disease from stress. It can be done though with the right size tank and even rock dwellers where your turtle will not knock over small decorations.

Thankyou ,I’ve watched a few of ur videos now I’ve now subscribed

thank you for this video, looking for tank mates for my RES!

Thank you for this i was actually wondering if i can put a rainbow shark with my RES. I’m going to try it now.

A friend of mine needs to get rid of his red slider turtle. With the 125 gallon tank and everything else that goes with it. I’m excited to see Tiger barbs and other fish may work . Can’t wait.

You did your video relaxed and naturally... it worked well

I have two mature musk turtles (several years old) currently in their tank and surviving are 4 guppies, 4 minows and 4 danios in a 190 litre tank. I'm attempting to plant it at the moment what else can I add? I was wondering about snails as I understand plecos don't do too well.

@@SGBeardedAquarist I can't stop marvelling at it am like viewing all the videos you have in relation to it. It has like a complete representation of every possible trait of aquarium flora and fauna possibilities. It's the best example of a community tank with a turtle, schooling fishes, algae eaters, monster possibilities, territorials and a shark too, damn. I'd consider an accomplishment if i can achieve 1/3rd of the harmony with mine.

my convict pair just spawned in my turtle tank! i have very similar stocking to what you have, do you normally take the fry out?

I find the rainbow shark to be coexisting with my turtle. I find the shark to sometimes be under my turtle and clean his shell or just follow him around while being under him and I'd say its a really good tank mates for turtles

before i bought any expensive fish i bought minnows for 13 cents just to see how my tirtle would react w fish in the tank. bought about 7 and put a rock cave in it and my turtle ate all of the ones that didnt know how to hide or run. once my turtle knew she couldnt get the ones hiding or catch the fast ones she completely gave up so now i have 4 minnows living in my 60 g barebottom tank haha i think im ready to scape and add some fishes from this list.

Australian rainbows are also good fish to keep with turtles. I have four large turtles and the rainbows zip by them all day long. The turtles have eaten some of my other fish like tinfoil barbs, tiger barbs, catfish. But they leave the rainbows alone. I also have a clown loach which they leave alone.

It's possible but convicts are likely to harass the tetras. If you have a big tank then the harassment might be minimized but still be prepared (eapecially if the convicts are male or there are many or you have a breeding pair in there). If its a small tank then the neons are likely to be continually harassed and may die from stress.

@SGBeardedAquarist

3 жыл бұрын

Definitely possible - seen it done before. That said, I would place it as high risk both ways. Small likelihood that the Oscar attacks the turtle and considerable likelihood that the turtle attacks the oscar (cause it's not a very active or fast swimmer). So unless the turtle is one of those super mild ones that doesnt chase any fish at all, success really hinges on the turtle being interested in the Oscar and the oscar defending itself enough for the turtle to learn it's not food. Worth the try if it's a new oscar you have no attachment to. Wouldnt risk it if it's an oscar you dont want to lose.

This fish keeper made a video about fish compatibility with turtles. The best fish to keep with turtles are those that... 1. Have short fins and can dart quickly, rather than those with long, flowing fins. 2. Are active. Fish that spend a lot of their time resting are not good choices. 3. Are intelligent enough to dart away from the turtle, rather than only trying to escape when attacked. It's up to you to provide the last two necessities... Shelter - It must not only be present but dense. Decorations not only shelter the fish but also provide a more interesting scape. The more bored the turtle is, the more time it will spend chasing the fish. Space - A turtle that's not cramped in its aquarium will spend more time away from the fish. It also provide the fish somewhere else to go when the turtle is in one spot. Rainbowfish would probably work if the tank is very large and well-sheltered. Keep in mind also that if the turtle is a RES that the older it gets, the less aggressively predatory it will be (although it will always be a threat).

No luck with a Rainbow Shark. My turtles are him eventually! Lol but my Convicts thrived!

My blue Gourimi and very aggressive with the red ear sliders. That’s the only Survival fish in a tank

They no longer lay eggs so I’m thinking they may not mind something else in the tank now. I’m interested in hearing what you might say about that!

@SGBeardedAquarist

3 жыл бұрын

It's doable. Something you really want to consider is how sentimental are your blood parrots to you? Are they pets you have grown an attachment to? If so, i wouldn't recommend it as there's always a risk and although adding the turtle after the fish usually increases chances of success, i wouldn't recommend for such cases because unlike adding new fish where you can simply see the loss as "food" or circle of life, it might not be worth it for fish you've had for awhile. But of course this is your decision to make. From a feasibility standpoint, definitely possible.

Yeap. This usually happens within the first 24hrs. Fish that survive the first 24 hours usually do fine 95% of the time. Barbs and cichlids in general are a good fish to keep with turtles. Barbs because of their activity level and cichlids because of their aggression and intelligence. This is a generalization, may vary on the species.
