Razorback musk turtle with fish?

[dangerhack]

what fish do you have mixed with your razorback.. or what fish should do well together? plan on putting fish in my 210gallon with 2 razorback musks

I'd try very quick fish. Mine kills anything slow, but he's okay with some cichilds living in his pond (space helps too).

I find that native fish (sunnies, bluegills, rock bass) work well them as do most Central and South American Cichlids. Avoid slow moving fish such as catfish, plecos and bichirs.

Musk turtles are temperatem so id only keep slow moving fish which live in cooler waters i.e. danios.

I think you would be fine with any cichlid or native as well. If anything, your biggest issues may come via territorial issues between the turtles. You would probably be best off with 2 females, though a 210 should be big enough to mitigate any real problems, but you never know

I had no problems w/my razorback (in my Gallery) w/any tankmates.
Bichirs
Rays
ATF
Plants
Juruense
Tigrinus
Plecos
Discus
Baby Loaches
Stiff Bagarius Suchus
Kitumba frontosa
List goes on w/no nipping ever

From looking at different RazorBacks, I think they are aggressive towards fish due to lack of eating. I know little to none of reptiles but I assume turtles store food in their shell like camels store water in their humps. I fed my guy a variety of food daily n he had the best looking arc on his shell I have ever seen. Again it's just my thoughts so it's far from hard facts

I forgot to end w/I think to have success is keeping them well fed

Turtles do not store food in their shells

Oh Lol. I was guessing
Why did my guy have such a high arc in his shell? Any guesses
