Many breeders would like to mix turtles with fish. The musk turtle is a species that can be bred as a pet turtle. Whether they can be mixed with fish depends on their personality and feeding habits. The character of musk turtles is more lively, they are very active in the container, a large amount of activity; In addition, their water and swimming ability are relatively strong, can live in deep water, swimming speed will be faster. More importantly, they are omnivorous and can eat meat, and small fish are also one of their foods.
To sum up the above points, musk turtles are not suitable for being mixed with fish. If you must try mixed breeding, you can choose fish larger than musk turtles. If small fish are put together with musk turtles, they may directly become food for musk turtles. In addition, even large fish can be bitten by musk turtles, so pay attention to the early stage of mixed breeding, musk turtles chase fish and want to bite them, they need to be separated.
As mentioned above, if you choose too small fish to put together with musk turtles, it may directly become their food. Therefore, if you try polyculture, you can choose larger fish. In addition, you can also consider the speed of swimming, and it is more appropriate to choose fish with strong swimming ability and fast swimming speed. However, even if the size of the fish is relatively large, it is unlikely to become food for musk turtles, but in the early stage of mixed culture, we must pay attention to observation, if there is an accident in time to separate them.
