Putting common musk turtle with yellow bellied slider

Well I have a common musk turtle who is about 7cm can I house a hatchling yellow belly slider with him?


Huey is about 7cm I want to get a yellow belly slider hatchling would it be safe for the hatchling to go in my 30 gallon with Huey? Would Huey hurt him? Should I spilt them up, but however I really want them kept together.

It's not a good idea to mix breeds. They are susciptible to different diseases. They could make each other sick.

The older one may also attack the younger one.
