So a few days ago at school a girl brought in two turtles. She was going to have them live in her locker D: but then decided to but them in one of the teachers fish tanks (about 20 gal) and the tank has three goldfish in it each about 3 inches long. Also so people could tell them apart she painted pink designs on their shells. Is this ok? Because I dont want either the fish or the turtles being harmed from this.

There actaully Northern Painted Turtles but almost the same thing lol and thanks. Do you think the goldfish will be ok? They are absolutly terrified of the turtles as of now.

20 gallons isn't even big enough for goldfish, much less turtles. xD
Gold fish and turtles are both messy animals, that will be a very dirty tank.

I'd try to get them into a reptile rescue...

Thanks for your input Olympia! Im not sure uf the tank is 20 gallons or 30 since it is old and shaped a bit funny.

I know for the regular sliders, 125 gallons is need for a female, 75 gallons for a male. Basically you take the full size of the turtle and x6 to get how long its tank should be. Probably the same for that type of turtle.
