If only money turtles are kept in the fish tank. Yes, because the space of the fish tank is larger, and the ornamental is stronger, it is more convenient and appropriate to raise with the fish tank. However, if fish have been raised in the fish tank, it is recommended not to put money turtles in it, because money turtles and fish have different habits, and money turtles need to come out of the water regularly for ventilation. Most of the water in which fish are raised is relatively deep, which is not conducive to the normal life of money turtles.

the money turtle be raised

in a fish tank? If the money turtle is raised separately in a fish tank, it is possible. Because the fish tank is transparent, the ornamental is relatively strong, and the space of the fish tank is relatively sufficient, suitable for the growth of money turtles.

But if there are fish in the fish tank, it is not recommended to put money turtles in it, because the habits of money turtles and fish are different, generally fish are raised in deep water, and money turtles need to surface regularly to breathe. If the water level is too deep, the money turtle will be exhausted or choke when it swims upstream. And the food of fish and money turtles is also different, the food of money turtles is easy to pollute the water quality, and eating fish food for a long time is not conducive to the growth and development of money turtles, so it is not suitable to be raised in a tank.

2. How high

is the water level of the money turtle? The money turtle is a freshwater turtle. Wild money turtles live in less polluted lakes or streams. Although they are terrapins, they also need amphibious life and can not stay in the water for a long time. Therefore, family breeding of money turtles needs to determine the height of the water level according to their size. The water level of adult money turtles can be above the carapace or a little exposed, so that they will not lack water, but also facilitate their breathing. The water level of young money turtles can be shallower so that they can breathe more easily.
