I have cared for snappers for 4-5 years and none are alike but I have yet to have a brutal run in with my fish and turtles. And rtc woulg get too big right?

If its a snapper I dont think u should have a problem with the rtc only if one grows quicker than the other. Which the rtc should grow faster. Youd be good to grow the snapper and throw in a mess of panfish to reproduce rapidly and feed the snapper. Then after a while then you can introduce a rtc. But its mouth has to be smaller than the snapper is

I don't think the gator gar is right for you. And I don't think that large catfish are good pondmates for your turtles. In fact the catfish would rather eat the turtles.

I was thinking they would eat them too, but if op could throw in a rtc or a channel cat they shouldnt get big enough to eat the full size snapper. Although you could have the occasional monster

The snapper is small and in a tank not the pond but they normally get about 13 in. in carapace length, I am thinking about the gator gar though.

Snappers get way bigger than 13" try 18" sometimes even bigger

Even the adult snapper is safe, the other turtles are not. And the turtles are in danger when the snapper getting bigger and decides to eat one of these smaller turtles.

But to the op, snappers are like a big aggressive cichlid, in the fact that they need to be kept alone and any smaller specimen has the risk of being killed. So if you choose a snapper, keep just that single snapper, as they tend to fight and even kill other snappers. But, you can do a combo of most other turtles like sliders, cooters, mud, and musk turtles together. If you want a community of turtles, get rid of the snapper as it WILL kill and eat all other turtles

I know snappers get massive but i am getting a common snapper and they do get up to 18in but it is somewhat rare all of my turtles are 9-11in long and have lived with 2 other snappers for quite some time i can always divide the pond.
But about the fish a rtc sounds like too much of a risk and i don't know where to get a channel cat, but i like the gator gar but they get huge and i don't think a 750gal can hold one.

Lol get the gator gar out of your mind. He will outgrow that and kill your turtles.
