Turtles are best kept alone.. Or if the fish you have are feeders, then no problem.

I know snakeguy101 has a peacock bass I think with his mata, he'll be able to help you.

If you are going to disagree with advice, then why did you ask for it?

hole = WHOLE

this will be at your own risk type of situation. normally does not work, maybe has on very few occasions, just be aware you might loose your fish.

Whats the depth of the tank? I'd be concerned if a small mata had to swim a good distance to reach the surface to breath.

18 to 20 inches tall but i was thinking of getting a 300 dollar 4 incher i know he shouldnt be able to eat my fish becuase my smallest fish is five inches but would it be okay also i have a powerhead in the tank would i need to get rid of it?
