Turtle In With A Betta

[hollanda88]

I was just wondering if any turtle such as a miniture musk would be able to go in the same tank as a betta?

There is also a clown plec in there but if needs be he can move into the 90L tank

EDIT: your really not that much of a helpful person are you truck!

Since joining this forum I have noticed that you seem to have a bad attitude towards newbies. We are new and learning, we appreciate all the help, sorry just had to say that.

I have never seen a turtle in with a Betta, so sorry i cannot help you

I had noticed the exact same thing as you lol, and tend to check things said for a second opinion any way

Well i have a dissertation to write so im off now

the reason i put ' do some research is because some people expect an easy ride without doing any of their OWN research which IMO is one of the most important aspects of the hobby, yes the forum is for research but IMO you have to do some yourself.

first off the turtle may eat the betta, second you would have to drop the water line to about 6 inches, thridly you will need a 5uvb bulb.

exactly my point

Hi
When i saw the question, my immediate thought was no. So i googled it, and the only issue i can see is that the turtle is mainly nocturnal so could harass the betta at night. I haven't as yet found anywhere that has said you can or cant keep with fish. So Truck, if you know why they cant go together then say? I like your informative posts Truck, but you can be a bit abrupt with no explanation sometimes. A forum is for sharing knowledge, not just telling people to research or google whatever.

Yeah you can be useful but some of your answers are just short snappy and unexplained. I know about keeping musk just didn't know how nippy they would be, but its been answered now anyway

cheers

EDIT: i am off this time, stupid addictive forums

 

[DP1981]

Yes that's it, I am not saying you are unhelpful because you are, you just can be very abrupt and negative

Still here lol,

Yeah thats what i was getting at, answers with no explanations isn't helpful, the musk we have isn't nippy and came from a fish full tank,

Well I would say no, but musk turtles can live with bigger fish! I hope to get one some day to live in my 55 or 125 gallon!
