Plecos in outside turtle enclosure

[bubba rust]

Hey guys, I was wondering if I would be able to my 2 plecos outside with my red-eared sliders. I keep them in a large kiddy pool at the moment and I dump it out and clean it every 3 or 4 days.

Oh man um if they are very large maybe I have a very large one but he got munched once and he is healing and living fine

 

[bubba rust]

How large would very large be? They are both about 7in. And I plan to keep them in my 55 until they out grow it but I feel that time is coming pretty soon

I got one around that in my 55 and he got his nose bit off but it's growing back extremely slowly but then again my turtle doesn't really bother his feeder fish either

yea that's the tank

 

[bubba rust]

Oh man that sucks.

Isn't it I gt the tank stand accesories filter fish food for 50 bucks

Since then I spent about 150 on the tank to make for turtles

When they make a bigger basking area I want to upgrade size of tank and then buy it right away lol

 

[bubba rust]

Wow! That's a fantastic price!
