General Care Discussion :: filter fish

[fla_boy-9o4]

i was wondering is there a fish i can put in my tank that will also help filter the tank 2, someone told me i could put thos sucker fish in there becouse they use up the waste and alge and help the tank not get as dirty quiker,i forgot the name of the fish tho.

plecos?

Any fish put into a turtle's tank has a chance of being injured of eaten...though some people have luck with plecos

if you have a turtle in the tank i dont realy think its a good idea.
i know from past expierience.
last time i tried it, my two babies Rocky and Squirt wouldnt leave it alone.
as soon as i left them alone, the fish had vanished!

Yeah you really have to be willing to lose any fish you put in with your turtles. Plecos seem to be left alone more often than other fish, but still...don't get attatched to them!

I suggest one of those tank magnets.... that might help a little bit, but I agree that the fish would be eaten and you will have an even bigger mess!
