I have this small aquarium where i keep some small fish ( guppy`s, platy`s etc) wich i feed my turtle as threats now and then. i recently discovered i have an "ich" problem in the tank.
As of now I`m threating it, and stopped feeding my turtles the fish...
Just wondering if "ich" pose a threat to Turtles ?

It's a parasite. I haven't heard of it infecting turtles before, but you'd probably want to keep things clean and keep the fish away from your RES.
