Can ababy red eard sliders live with guppies guppies?

can baby turtles live with guppies? can any harm can be caused

Can ababy red eard sliders live with guppies guppies?
No, it's best to have the sliders alone in their own tank. They will get big rapidly and eat guppies....





Ohhh you don't care about the guppies....well that's a tasty treat for the sliders. No guppies won't hurt your sliders.
Reply:You can try. There is no guarantee they will survive. Anything in the tank has the potential to become food. You can try to put in ones that are bigger than the turtles head, but I've seen babies play tug-o-war, just so they could share a yummy snack! It won't harm the turtles just the fish! Guppies, Rosie Reds, Ghost Shrimp and aquatic snails are some safe fish to feed. Watch out for goldfish they are too fatty and offer no nutritional value.





EDIT for your additional info: NO the turtles will be fine. Guppies are great feeder fish and on the safe feeding list.
Reply:It will provide your turtle with both food and exercise as it chases the guppies around to eat them
Reply:yes they can without any problems on the turtles side but the guppies have a problem with getting eaten.lol





Really the guppies are cheap enough and provide good nutrition for the turtle. and they are fun to watch will they last.
Reply:the turtle will be fine but the guppies will be dead
Reply:The turtles may eat the guppies, but it isn't a sure thing. I fed my red-eared slider goldfish when I wanted some entertainment, but there was one in the cage he seemed to be friends with, so he didn't eat that one and they lived in harmony for months, while I continued to put other goldfish in his tank and he quickly devoured them. I know, this sounds crazy to anyone knowing that turtles don't have the mental capacity to do such a thing, but it's true. If you really care about the fish though, you might want to buy a 12 cent goldfish and test it out in the turtle cage to see what would happen, before you kill your fish testing it.
