What other pets can a turtle live with?

I have a RES turtle about 3 inches long. I have him in a tank filled with water and some climbing rocks he can rest on. I wonder if I can put any other pets like fish or water hermit crabs in the same tank as him? ANY other pet would do .. I just want to add some variety =)What other pets can a turtle live with?turtles eat fish...so definatley not fish. i am not really sure about hermit crabs, but i am about 80% sure thats fine. your turtle will probbably think it is just a moving shell. lol if you want to add some variety, get a bigger tank, so you can fit more fake plants and climbing objects in the tank. also you should add some snails. they are really cheap, and they help clean your tank also. but i dont know how the turtle would react to the snails either. but it would probably be fine with it. hope i helped.., adiosWhat other pets can a turtle live with?
Probably the best thing you could do is drop a couple of bucks on feeder guppies. They are like 15 for a dollar. Some are cross breeds from fan tail guppies and are rather pretty. Most turtles eat fish. The only thing really that goes with a turtle is a turtle. But if he's always been alone there is a chance of fighting. At least with the feeder guppies if he eats a few its no big deal. If you give them things to hide in and around they would be safer. I had the same set up with mine before he got to big for any tank and I built him a pond in my garden. I would go buy another dollars worth of guppies once every few months. He wasn't to interested in them.What other pets can a turtle live with?yeah you can put fish in there, as long as the turtles don't eat that type of fish, and the fish doesn't attack the turtles.. definitely not a hermit crab..hermit crabs eat anything..they will most likely eat the fishWhat other pets can a turtle live with?
no hermit crabs, they would likely pick at your turtle, and fish, some might try and bite your turtle and visa vera, if you out any fish in prepare for them to come up missing.What other pets can a turtle live with?you could put a fish but the hermit crab is a mistake..... something would be dead .What other pets can a turtle live with?
