I've got two baby terrapin's, roughly 3" in size.

I'm wondering if it would be safe to put 2 large, 4"+ clown loach in with them, do you think they will out compete for food? Obviously the terrapins have a chance of eating them - but aside from that does anyone see any problems?
 
That one problem should be a HUGE problem and the best reason to not house these animals together.
Another problem is that the large loaches may decide that turtle eyes are on the menu. We've had that happen at the store. The turts were a little smaller but, the risk is still there with your larger turts.
 
I agree with oddball. the 2 have too great a risk of harming the other to safely house them together
