Snails/Fish Turtles wont eat

[vaughans81]

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows the best kind of snails I can put in my tank that turtles wont eat?? Also anykind of fish I can put in there that they wont eat?? Fish with some colour would be nice.

Hi,
There only hatchlings, Macleay River turtles, so I dont think they will eat snails or fish now but when they get bigger. They only grow to around 15cm.
Thanks

gold fish will be fine then , buy a few . some will get eaten and the others will get " turtle smart " and live .
i have a few gold fish that live a happy life with the turtles in all 4 ponds .

i have convicts and red devils in with mine,i put in around 50 fish and there is 6 left that are to quick and know to stay away from the turtles(they leard from watching there friends get eaten)they have been in there for months and the turtles dont even bother chasing them,but give them some hides because turtles do hunt during the night(well mine do)
