Multiple Species in a terrarium Anonymous
What Reptiles, Amphibians, bugs, plants, and maybe fish can share a terrarium/aquarium without killing each other? Also, what sized terrarium would you recommend for such combinations of animals?

That's a very broad question.

You have to consider the species of each animal you want to put together, do research on how they will coexist, and then make sure that your terrarium/aquarium can properly house those animals.

What would you like to keep?

Without killing is a problem. It's better to create a semi self sustaining food chain with one or two rarely reproducing animals at the top. I have a crocodile skink living in a cage with mosses, ferns, sow bugs, pill bugs, decollate snails, nightcrawlers, super worms, and darkling beetles. I could probably add some small minnow like fish to that, and some tree frogs.

I tried that. It was pretty successful for about a week.

I had 7minnows, 4 ghost shrimp, 2 snails, 2 bull frog tadpoles, 1 young bullfrog, and a hatchling snapping turtle.

stupid turtle ate it all in 2 days.

Never count on a snapping turtle to not eat anything that it can kill. I had two yearling snapping turtles kill and hollow out a gar more than three times their length.

A handful of prey items and a voracious predator (or predators, had the turtle not eaten the frogs) known for eating large quantities of anything they can fit in their mouths in a closed system doesn't come anywhere near close to being a "semi sustaining food chain".
