I have read here and there that Killi's are testy lil spit fires which is what I want

. I want to know if one of the larger killi's could hold their own in a 175gal tank with a Red Ear Slider? I don’t want the killi to try and kill my slider I just want a fish that can keep the slider from eating it haha. I will more than likely stay with just gold fish with the slider but a colorful fish would be nice and yes I know if I ever do get a Killi there would not be any goldfish for it to eat in the tank.

THKS for any in put

I think that if the goldfish are doing okay, than a killie should too, as long as it`s other living conditions are met.In that big a tank, they should be able to find a little cave or rock to call their own. I would definetally giv`em lots of hidey holds where the turtles can`t get att`em, though.
