Well any time your looking to mix different species of animals your getting into trouble. Each animal has different needs that need to be met. When mixing different species (ie frog and turtle) your putting stress on both of those animals. Not to say the frog will be eaten by the turtle. I would stay with one type of "general species". Say go all turtles. A pair of Painteds would do niceley in an 80gal. Even A Painted and a Musk should get along fine.
