Default I have 3 Pangasius catfish, 2 very round goldfish, a dragon fish and 2

red-eared sliders in one big pot...? ...with a filter, of course. But still... I'm worried about the catfish attacking others, especially my terrapins. Is it okay for all of them to be together?

Get the terrapins out! Of everything in there, the turtles are the least at risk! Also, I hope that is one BIG pot (a 500+ gallon pot), as those Pangasius are gonna be around 3 feet long as adults. Also, depending on whether your "dragon fish" is a Dragon Goby or Arrowana, you may or may not need an even larger tank. The Goldfish will be eaten by the Sharks in short time... about as soon as they fit in their mouths. Also, Goldfish are coldwater fish while the others require tropical temperatures-- for this reason (among others), they should really not be mixed...

Calm Down, the cats will catch on and they will be fine, they have primitive instincts that will guide them....
...the goldfish prefer 60F to 74F and swim around making an even bigger mess of the water than even the turtles, and tempting little side-dishes too
...the turtles prefer warmer water temps, upwardfs from 74F and they are one of the meat-eaters in your tank for sure
....yep, right along with those (3) Pangasius Catfish....wonder if yours will grow to 3' or 9' in length , hmmmm
....well along the way they will all be able to share similar water temps and ph, just like their 2 tasty goldfish treats
....my money is on the Dragon fish though
....they are most likely to be first to that table though...they are eatin' machines...prehistorically
.....alternatively, you might consider to go to the less expensive, 2 or 3 gold feeder fish, for the next 'soup du jour' for that tank community, see if they are found as tasty
....also, suppliment their diets with bloodworms, those will become a 'blueplate' special for that pot too
...and on Wednesdays, the Chef might even recommend, the ever tasty White Cloud minnows
...be sure to add fish flakes as routine side dishes 2 or 3 times daily too....everyones metabolism is constantly moving
...btw, those turtles will enjoy a few bird cuttle bones to snack on, as well as earthworms....my worms from my compost pile are huge, and i always marinate them in a bowl of dechlorinated water to remove the dirt from their slippery skins, then toss 'em in....
...occasionally I even chop ' em up like 'chives, and add them to the pot

...ahhh the 'Bill o' Fare' seems just endless.....they will eventually run out of elbow room in most indoor tanks....so you might begin sizing up likely adoption centers or talk some trades with other commerical aquairum keepers
..tbhe healthy cats and dragons will be welcomed by most publics aquairums once they are nice and fat from your pot
...Cheers....cold beers and goldfish!

NO put them in different cages them all you will need 4 more tanks. All red eared sliders need to be alone into a 40 gallons tank alone because one will kill they others, put the two gold fish in one tank, put the pangasius catfish together in one bowl. and put the catfish by himself.
