Turtle with monster fish, possible?

[monsterkeeper87]

I see the coolest little turtles today! I was wondering if it was possible to keep with my fish as they are all way to big for the turtle to see as food, I know it's probably a no go because very few people do it but it would be so cool if its possible. I especially liked a little map turtle

Only a musk pretty much.
This is my 5 year old Sternotherus Oderatus, or Stinkpot Musk.
He/she lives with a 22" TT variant, a huge, fat Raph cat, a Sveni Pike a senegal and a pumpkinseed.
Before the Cherax died I had every continent represented in that tank.
The dock is an xbox360...and yes, they all get along.

Nice looking eel in there Horiyoshi.

Very nice they had them there as well but the only problem is I was hoping to keep 1 with my big catfish RTC, TSN etc. and they only stay small

An RTC shouldn't live with anything that can't keep up with the growth rate of it's mouth.

Thanks man!
Still come around, eh!

Thanks, that was my next question if it was possible was how fast do they grow? I will make sure the turtle won't get eaten so I just need to know if the turtle will attack my fish if they are to big to be seen as food?

Most turtles will nip their fins and harass, and the other way around with big cats. I am lucky enough to be in Musk country...I'm telling you though. A musk with normal sized fish.
Oh, lest I forget...the musk has little to no basking requirements. Big point right there...
