can i put african cichlids with a stinkpot or musk turtle? I may be in the wrong section but i have a 120 4 x 2 x 2 and i didnt know if there was any complications that i didnt know about from what ive researches they shouldnt be able to catch any of my fish and are fine in fully aquatic situations. Any advice?
 
typically, it is a bad idea to put a turle with any fish you don't want to be eaten. and if we are talking about larger, very aggro cichlids, the turtle could be in danger as well
 
If you keep them well fed/don't mind the occasional mbuna missing, I don't see a big problem. Casualties should taper off once the mbuna hit the 4-5" mark and get thicker. Musks and stinkpots aren't as dangerous as say, a softshell or sideneck, I'd say you're fine.
 
why dont you try it and let us know,i like to see it.....:ROFL:
