One bala shark will be stressed from being by itself. They are schooling fish and also get very large. So they're really not suited for anything smaller than 100 gallons.

haha bala sharks will be fast food for your turt... your turt will dedicate hours on end chasing it or waiting for it to venture near its mouth and BAM where did my fish go.. get cheap fish like comets or guppies see if you can find a big comet like 3 inchs usually turtles will leave them alone unless they get really hungry dont try a koi they dont like tanks and warm water much they are really hard but yet so easy

How big is the aquarium?
Approximately how full of water is it?

I initially answered this post then realised you've already asked this question elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend keeping fish with a turtle unless you have a very large aquarium.

No goldfish are not a good choice as they get very big and produce a lot of waste. They also require cool water like koi.
