Just get the big turtles and the big fish in the same tank and the little turtles with little fish; if they are put together with different sizes then the turtle will start wanting to eat the fish..

I have 5 red eared sliders, and they love fish. They ate all the fish that was in my tank so I started feeding them feeders as a treat. They got big quick. They came from Myrtle Beach , they were the size of a quarter, now they are the size of my fist. so, I would use separate tanks. You will love them (turtles) if you get some. They are so cool to watch! I know this from experience dont put your turtle with the fish, or you will be missing snails, and fish by morning. I have 5 red eared sliders, and they love fish.

If the turtle is big enough, it will eat them all right then and there. And if you put larger fish, they may just pester eachother. Unless you purposely buy those fish to be food, it's absolutely pointless and a waste of money to put them in with a turtle. Snails would not harm the turtle, that they are slimey has nothign to do with turtles! But they aren't nutritionally beneficial, and if they have a hard shell, may be difficult for the turtle to swallow and digest, and might injure it internally.

However, this would require a rather large tank to accomadate both a turtle and the larger fish. Turtles will go after small fish that they can easily catch and devour but I have seen great set ups with some larger fish like oscars and some red eared sliders.
