Turtles In Fish Tank?

[Gruffle]

Hi

The bulb on my turtle tank has blown and as our local pet stores are shut until tuesday, i was considering plonking the turtles into my tropical fish tank upstairs until i can get a new bulb sorted out, but not sure if its a good idea lol

the turtles are small red eared sliders, one of them is about 4" and the other 2 1/2" and the fish tank has serpae tetra, a BN plec, a RTBS and assorted small cichlids (keyholes and cribs)

anyone know if this is a good idea, i'm pretty sure the turtles will be hungry but dunno if they will be able to catch the smaller fish (although the plec and RTBS, which is old, fat and lazy, may be a different story), and am not sure how delicate turtles are regarding changes to water conditions...

any help appreciated

The turtles will eat the fish at night.

aye, i've noticed, i put them in to see what would happen, the biggest turtle was chasing my plec about constantly, so he has gone back into the turtle tank downstairs, in the dark, the smaller one is fine though and should be ok for a couple of hours, that is the one i was more worried about tbh as it was fairly stunted when we got it and is fairly delicate lol

as long is it doesnt touch the plec or cichlids i wont be overly concerned, the serpae tetra are little #105###s anyway

gonna go get a new bulb in an couple of hours
