Mixing Pbass with turtle...

[dangerhack]

I tried this in the general forum an got no answers... maybe somone with pbass exp. will answer here... i love Pbass an also love razorback musk turtles. I really want to try both in my 200+ gallon tank. I just want like 1 or 2 pbass an 2 razorbacks. I would get all fish an turtle as tiny tiny babies. I firgured i might be able to pull this off if the fish are used to the turtles an get eat them for along time because wont be big enough. The turtles max out at about 5" - 6"in ... if it is possbile i def wanna try.. but if everyone advises a definate no then i dont wanna just toss them together an then a year from now they all eat eachother.

Thanks for the info...
Danny

If you feed the turtles enough to keep them from wanting to snap at ur bass then it should be fine in a 200 make sure you have a basking area because musk turtles the only of the musk variety that bask infrequently.

Edit: My bad didn't know this post was this old

Should be fine I had two yellow belly sliders and a Oscar and a large mouth they actually kinda went after feeder fish together they were pretty good group just make sure you have excessive amount of food othere wise it will cause them to fight

was your large mouth wild caught? is there concern with wild diseases that can harm your captive breed fish?

nooooooooo way - the turtles will end up with missing limbs and will probably die of hunger before that anyway.
