Im looking for a very small turtle for fish tank Is there any that will stay little and not eat the2007-11-24 2:00:37

It could be a turtle that is for water only, or one that would be in the water and on land. The fish aquarium is small, and I don't want one that will grow much. I'm not sure there is such a turtle. No one around here seems to know anyway.

Texas map turtles are fairly small. Males are 2 3/4 to 3 1/2 incheshttp://www.austinsturtlepage.com/care/ca.

Musk turtles grow to about 5 or 6 inches

All turtles will dine on anything that you put in the tank however, and will need a place to bask with apropriate lighting.

An aquarium set up for fish is not very good for a turtle. Turtles need a place to get totally out of the water so they can bask. They also need a basking light and a special uvb light made for reptiles Otherwise they can't process certain vitamins and they'll die.. Most turtles will get too big for a small fish tank. They also need a very strong filter. because they are messy. And yes most if not all of them will eat your fish when they get bigger.

Any small aquatic turtle will eat your fish and out grow your tank quite quickly. Please do not put turtles in a fish tank, set up a proper vivarium with the correct lighting (UV) , filtartion and heating first.

Turtles will grow up big enough to eat your fish - that's what turtles do.
