Agreed about the softies being aggressive.



I would not mix softies with hardshelled species like sliders.

They have different requirements and too often the (I have seen this happen too) You end up with a softie whose nose gets bitten off (looks like a nice worm to that slider) or their back cut up because the sliders climb on the if they happen to be basking and those claws scratch up the softies skin.



The softie on the other hand could also not like having the slider around and inflict some nasty leg and head wounds or even chomp on the tail.



I would keep the softie in one tank and get the hardshell in another and just get the hardshell guy a little hardshell buddy.
