Unless you want your cichlids to die, don’t put a turtle in there
I unfortunately had to experience it myself, because i didn’t know
I put a 1 inch turtle with my 4 year old 4 inch goldfish, after only beeing 1 hour in there, the turtle had eaten half of it’s body
Hope that helps
Good luck

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! DO NOT !!! , i repeat do not do it. Turtle plus fish in samt tank equals dead fish!!! Good luck!!
If the turtle doesn’t outright kill and eat the fish, the wastes it produces will. Very high output.
You CAN put it in, but…
It would be awesome if you could, but it’s not a good idea.
