Cichlids with turtle?

I just recently put in some convict cichlids with my turtle, since they are more aware especially at night when other fish just tend to stay in the same spot and don’t really move until it’s too late.

The biggest thing is probably just to make sure that the cichlids have similar water requirements as the turtle, and that your tank can honestly handle cichlids due to their size or speed (and ability to jump dependent on species).
