Not any that you feel like keeping for a long time anyway.
Actually muds and musks aren't all that adept at catching fish. They're not great swimmers, more of a bottom-walker type. They have very strong jaws that are built for crushing snails and clams though.

Lets us know what species you're thinking about getting for sure. I have a pair of Stinkpot Musk Turtles (Sternotherus odoratus) and they are a great beginner turtle species to consider. They are much, much easier to take care of compared to a RES or other basking species. I've also kept and bred Eastern Mud Turtles (Kinosternon subrubrum) before.
i will keep you updated....... i have a lot to keep you updated on ........ terrarium.... turtles..... fish!!!!
I agree with Vicious- get your paludarium up and running before you jump into setting up a turtle tank. Kinosternids are fun little turtles, with lots of 'personality', and they're pretty easy to care for, but you still don't want to juggle too many projects at once.
