Turtle+Fish+Reptiles

Any ideas on how to mix a turtle some fish and some reptiles all in one tank...I want to get some cichlids, two frogs and a chamelion, of course the tank would be half land half water, but I don't know how i'd get a filter down into the water, or whether the cichlids and turtle would mix

 

there is someting called a vivarium its a water, land, live plant combo. also one lfs i go to had a tererium its a 2 tier one on one side its water the other is rock and plants. ive seen them have a small turtle in it along with goldfish or guppies. it has running water also.

 

haha, thanks karlas

I wouldn't put cichlids with my turtle. Sure it depends on the turtle, but my leaf turtle enjoys the company of gold fish, but after a couple months or less they are all gone.

For a filter idea, check out my thread on my turtle tank.

 

so matt does the tank have a hole drilled in it, i'm not quite sure what you mean?

 

No I built a platform 'beach' with egg-crate covered in gravel.
Inside the platform I have a pump and a heater. The pump return comes through a hole in the platform and sprays over a eclipse 6 filter that I pack with carbon from time to time. It is wrapped with plastic window screening and also has floss in it.

 

brilliant! haha, thanks matt, so as i get enough money i'm gonna start this project. I'm thinking i'll put in two small turtles, a vieled chamelion and two dart frogs
