Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
Ok well no it wouldn't really be a good idea. I have 2 pet turtles myself and within a year they were over a foot long. Go to a pet store and ask someone who works there for help picking out a tank and they will know what to do.

You have to keep fish in a different aquarium than turtles.
You have to have the fish tank with enough water for the fish to have ample surviving environment.
For the turtle, you need to have a large reptile aquarium because they live in water and on land. It has to have room enough for it to have a pool to swim in and rocks etc for it to come out, dry off and hide if it so wishes.
Check out this website on turtle care. It may help you decide what is the best environment for your turtle to live in.

P.S. A reptile aquarium is a lot like a fish aquarium in the fact that they are large glass boxes. However, a reptile aquarium is not as high as one for fish, and it is much longer to provide your pet as much space as he needs to grow and survive.

Aside from the possibility of when the turtles grow they may try to take bites out of the fish, there is still the problem of terrain. Fish need an all water environment and turtles need a place to land. It may look cute having them all together, but you would want them all to be happy wouldn't you?
The web sites I gave you earlier gives you all the pros and cons for mixing the two species. If you need any further advice, try a local reptile/aquarium specialist. They may be able to give you some more pointers.
Hope that helps.
