Has anyone had any luck with a Pleco in a turtle tank? I bought one, and then the next day it was dead, but none of the other fish we bought with it have died.

Our terrapin kept chasing the pleco, finally ate it. The only way we could rectify the problem was to get a pleco that was too big for the terrapin to eat.

they say to get fish that are bigger than your turtle so that it discourages him from attacking it...

I know this seems like a dumb question but you didnt say the turtle killed it you just said it died.. was it possibly sick or are you certain the turtle killed it?

And when I had a small snapping turtle it was housed with a red ear and a large pleco... never had any problems

I don't think that one of the turtles killed it. There were no bite marks or anything on it. It cold have been sick when we bought it, although I really didnt see any signs of an illness. It was eating and acting alright the night before it died.

Did you quarantine it before putting it in the turtle tank?
