raise turtles? Do you need nitrifying bacteria to raise turtles. Generally, fish farming needs nitrifying bacteria, because more water is used, and water can not be changed too frequently at ordinary times, so an ecological cycle is needed to deal with excessive ammonia nitrogen to avoid fish poisoning. But raising turtles is not the case, the water used is very little, the change of water is not only relatively light, but also the amount of each change is very large, so there are nitrifying bacteria can not survive, mainly through the change of water to improve water quality.

Two, how to raise a turtle well

1, feed: want to raise a turtle well, first of all, give it a good feed. As an omnivorous animal, turtles can eat many things, such as fish and shrimp, snails and mussels, duckweed, melon skin and so on. Artificial breeding, you can also consider feeding turtle food, but at the beginning of feeding may not eat, need to starve for a period of time to feed it.

2. Change the water regularly: In order to ensure the health of the tortoise, change the water regularly. Usually the water is changed after feeding, because it eats in the water and excretes in the water, so not changing the water frequently will lead to bacterial growth, which is harmful to its health. Every time you change the water, you must change it completely. If there is too much water, you should change at least half of it.

3. Sunning the back every day: The turtle must be sunned on the back, which can not only sterilize and disinfect, but also be conducive to the synthesis of vitamin D3 in the body, thus helping to absorb calcium, which plays a vital role in the subsequent growth and nail change.
