ok i will answer each question lol the pacu is about 10 1/2"-11" and i adopted him from petco a week ago. yes the turtle is a softshell and i have a painted turtle too. and i have a couple goldfish one 6" one 4" and onother about 2 1/2" and the oscar is tearing the **** outta the smaller one. i need to get rid of the goldfish any how they are making my tank look like crap.


yes. 86 the goldfish. donate them to a Chinese Restaurant or something.. I'm (obviously) not a fan of goldfish. But to each his/her own.

How do the turtles get along with the other fish??? I've only seen fish with turtles as food and not really as tank mates. Lets not over look the claws, beak and defense of a turtle.

Personally, I would not combine the 2.
 
one more question... How big is that tank?

Judging by the pics it looks like a standard 55 gal.... Which, I would say, is too small for the amount of stock you have in there. If that Pacu is 11" then the Oscar is about the same size, a little smaller perhaps, 1 catfish, 1 pleco, and 2 turtles... doesnt leave a lot of room to swim.. you may start to see some aggression from everyone in the tank...

the latest addition of the pacu is a major addition, considering it is a 55 gal.
Pacu's also grow very fast
 
the turtles do really well and eat only what i give them for example medium to large or even small crayfish. and yes it is a standard 55g and im 14 so getting a bigger tank is a little bit of a task but soon i hope to upgrade, very soon. as for the gold fish i am getting rid of them hopefully today or tommorow
