piranha and turtles

[tothna]

Has anyone ever put piranha together with turtles?

Usually not a good idea to mix turtles and fish unless you don't like the fish-Anne

i did
they were fine
then i sold p's and turtle
just buy 3-4" p and 5-6inch red ear etc

one guy put a baby alligator snapper with some spilopleuras, the spilos chewed up the turtle's feet and it died.

it's very likely that the piranha will attack the turtle. I strongly advise not to keep any animal with piranhas and I don't recomend mixing reptiles/amphibians with fishes.

the turtle, will most likely get killed, so i wouldn't suggest it

Risky. Anything is fair game to Ps. Ive had Ps slash a pleco into two. Saw the pleco
still alive but missing his lower torso. Gruesome stuff.

I use to keep a channel cat with my RBP's once they got about 4" they ate the channel cat. :( I would hate to wake up to a shell with no turtle.

funny you brought this up, I just found a betta carcass in my turtle tank! (My wife forgot to put the betta back in its home after a matanance<[sp.]) I think it would probably depend on the type of turtle and size of both.

I agree with the posts, I wouldn't mix piranhas and turtles for your turtles sake.

[doods]

its like having turtle soup for your P's

To be fair, the piranhas run a risk of being hurt to, especially if it's a common snapper.
