This is my 2 year old Fly River (Pig Nose) Turtle. I'm looking for a tank mate for my turtle. I don't want to put a pleco in like my other tanks because I'm afraid it might suck on the soft shell of the turtle. Any suggestion?

Most reptiles don't like company, but if anything, I would get another FRT.

Doesn't FRT is aggressive towards each other? When I bought him at my LFS, there are 2 FRT left. I want to buy both of the FRTs. However I change my mind when my I saw one of them (mine) bitting the other one consistently.
 
FRTs will fight with each other. My FRT lives in my 12' oddball community so has 3000litres to swim around in. Seems fine with the fish
 
There are a couple people on this site who keep FRT's with fish

Uknownuza13 , Gr8karmasf , and Michael all keep them with fish. Sadly I don't know the rules for doing so though.

how big is the tank?

you could maybe try some fast, large fish.
I kept mine in a 2 feet tank. His size is about 7 inch. When he grow bigger I definnitely need to move him to a bigger tank.
