Why the turtles and fish should not be reared toge

[moon88]

dear cecil,
what is the significance of the turtle ponds.
I read somewhere that one should not rear turtles and fish together. Is it true. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
1. From what I can understand, when I was young, my house used to have an urn i.e. collecting water and we used to rear turles.
2. I believe their bite can be quite nasty.
3. I have also seen large pools of turles e.g. in a public garden.
4. It is my belief that if they are not properly `fed' may tend to eat fishes.
Apologise if what I said may be `silly' or whether, it is the truth... erh.. I am really guessing it could be because of the above reason.
If I am wrong, please accept my sincere apologies as I have little knowledge of this.
Have anyone any experience in this? Would love to hear from you:)
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
