Can paint turtles survive in an outdoor pond environment in Ohio?

We just inherited 2 paint turtles that a family had kept in an aquarium. We have a small 500 gallon goldfish pond outdoors with about 30 goldfish of different sizes.


If we put the turtles in the pond, could they survive? Would we need to take them out in the winter? The fish seem to survive the winters fine.


Also, would the turtles eat the fish?


I know this is more than one question and I would like to say in advance that I appreciate the help. Thanks.Can paint turtles survive in an outdoor pond environment in Ohio?
They may not eat the goldfish but they will bite at them. Unless you heat the pond, I would bring the turtles indoors for the winter. During the warm weather, you just have to insure that they don't wander off.Can paint turtles survive in an outdoor pond environment in Ohio?
