Does anyone keep fish with their Red Earred Sliders?

I have been keeping fish with my 2 turtles since they were about 1 inch big and that was almost 10 years ago. They currently live with 3 African Cichlids, a synodontis(sp) and 1 other fish whose name slips my mind right now. They love to eat rosies and probably other smaller fish but when I carefully introduce smaller Africans they leave them alone. It's been a very interesting interaction as the Africans have no fear of the turtles and will actually steal pieces of food right from their mouth. I once kept a Tire Track Eel and Red Devil w/ them but the Red Devil attacked them when he got bigger & started damaging their shell plus the pH was too low for the turtles.
