Well, the turtle is an adult male Spotted who is about 3 years old. The Cichlids are Black Convicts, and possibly a pair of Jack Depseys or Oscars. The Cons will get to about 6-8 inches long, the Jacks might get to 9-10 inches, and the Oscars are capable of reaching 12 inches. I know now that the turtle will be able to hold his own against the most agressive fish, as most fish are unlikely to go attacking a turtle in the first place unless he finds himself in their breeding territory, in which case, he will be able to remove himself from the area without too much trouble. Anyway, I've decided to go with the 3/4 filled tank, and I'll be posting progress pics shortly.
