My western painted lived with a fish that was actually a bit larger than him for several months. He seemed to enjoy the company of the fish, he would wiggle his long nails in front of the fish, he seemed to spend a lot of time playing with the fish every day.
One cleaning day I had just put him back in the tank with the fish, everything was sparkling clean when he decided it was time to eat sushi.
He killed the fish and made a huge mess in that freshly cleaned water. I let him eat all he wanted then cleaned the tank again.
Even if fish are the same size as the turtle.. they aren't safe.
