Red Eared Slider and Fish

fishfreak2009 · July 2nd, 2009

I have a 6 inch (shell length) red eared slider male that is living in a 55 gallon tank. I was thinking about putting a fish in with him. He will eat small fish, thin fish, and nip the fins on fish like angelfish. I was thinking about some kind of cichlid. Water quality is not an issue as the tank is plumbed into a filter for a 300 gallon aquarium. Bluegill don't cut it for my parents and I really like pike cichlids/peacock bass/red devils. Any suggestions?

You said it yourself, he will try to eat & nip at fish. SO why risk any fish life?
