The feeding habit of the yellow-headed side-neck turtle is vegetarian, and they like to eat vegetarian food. The main vegetarian plants are aquatic plants, algae and some other plant stems and leaves, etc., can be vegetarian as their main food. In addition, they can also eat some meat, such as small fish, but the amount of meat can not be too much. Moreover, they can not eat live food, so they can not feed live fish, you can feed some dead fish. It can be sterilized before feeding, and then cut up and fed. They don't need to be fed meat every day, they can eat meat as a snack.
The yellow-headed side-necked turtle can be raised with fish. They don't usually eat fish. However, although they usually do not eat fish, they may bite fish. Therefore, not all fish can be mixed with yellow-headed side-neck turtles in a container. When choosing fish mixed with them, there are still many problems to be paid attention to. For example, size is an important aspect to consider, can not choose too small fish, to choose a slightly larger fish. In addition, we also need to look at their swimming speed, choose fast swimming speed and relatively high activity of fish, not easy to be bitten by yellow-headed side-neck turtles.
In view of the above factors, there are quite a number of fish species to choose from. Some common species include "map fish," "pearl fish," and "parrot fish.". If mixed culture, we need to pay attention to some problems. For example, space, we must provide an adequate space for activities, and timely feeding, feeding volume should be adequate.
