OK so my big turtle caught a gold fish and was gonna eat it but the little one wanted some so he went up to get a bite of it but while the bigger one was scratching it to tear pieces off of the fish the little turtle accidentally bit his hand it took a while for the little turtle to let go i looked at his leg to make sure he wasn't bleeding and it didn't look red or anything but is there some thing i should look out for like can he get sick from another turtle biting him?

If there's no open wound, I think it should be alright. Keep watching them to
make sure they don't fight each other. If they do, you may need to separate them
or get a bigger tank.

PS: Please write good sentences with fullstop, comma, etc. It's kinda hard to read
loooong sentence like that... :P

you might just want to seperate him so it can heal and make sure it doesnt get infected.

are you sure it was accidental? maybe the littler turtle wanted some of the fish but the larger one didnt want to share and attacked him...
