1. Introduction to turtles
The turtle is a cold-blooded animal, an animal of the reptilian class turtle and turtle subclass, which is widely distributed around the world and has different living habits. There are many different species of turtles, with different sizes and colors, and very different living environments. Before raising turtles, we need to understand the basic knowledge of turtles in order to provide them with a suitable living environment.
2. Suitable for turtles placed in fish tanks
Some small turtles are very suitable for keeping in fish tanks. These turtles are usually very lively and easy to feed and care for.
First of all, the red-eared turtle is a very popular pet turtle that is moderately sized and suitable for keeping in a medium-sized fish tank. They usually grow to a length of about 6-8 inches. Red-eared turtles are more adapted to the home environment and are easy to feed and care for.
Secondly, the golden turtle is also a type of turtle suitable for keeping in fish tanks. Although they are usually smaller than red-eared turtles, they still need a certain amount of space for swimming and activity. Golden turtles typically grow to about 4-6 inches in length and vary in color.
3. Requirements for the fish tank environment
For those who want to keep turtles but don't have plenty of outdoor space, a fish tank can be an ideal place to keep turtles. However, there are some requirements to be aware of.
There should be at least one finger rock or other sunbathing object in the tank for the turtles to bask in the sun. In addition, to keep the turtles healthy, the water in the tank should be changed frequently, and a filter that can clean up the debris is also needed. In addition, we need to pay attention to the size of the tank and the number of turtles, in general, each turtle needs at least 6-10 gallons of water to ensure that they have enough space to swim and move.
4. Turtle diet
The diet of turtles largely depends on their breed and size. For those turtles that grow up in a fish tank, we need to provide a food station and eat a regular diet, twice a day. Turtle food and fish are the main foods, and they usually prefer to eat diced fish or other small plant-based pellets.
In addition, we can also provide fruits or vegetable leaves to popularize the nutritional needs of turtles.
