I would not reccomend adding anything to that tank. A 20 gallon is way too small for a turtle that size. You need to consider upgrading to a 55 gal minimum.

If you add a pleco to that tank, the turtle will most likely kill it. If you added it to a 55, the pleco would survive, but may get a nip every once in a while.

>>it's a 20 gallon tank...there's about 17 or 18 gallons of water in there, the turtle is 5 inches long and about 3 inches wide, and the pleco is around 5 inches long..maybe a little longer...
