Pig-nosed turtles will eat very small fish, because they belong to aquatic animals, feeding habits are mixed, not only eat a lot, but also love to fight. They are open to small fish, shrimps or other insects in the water. But if there is enough food, they usually don't eat live fish. Pig-nosed turtles occasionally attack other small fish and sometimes take a bite, so fish mixed with them need to be agile or they may be injured.

Because their feeding habits are more miscellaneous, breeders will eat any food they feed, and they eat more, ordinary small fish and shrimps are all welcome. But if there is enough food, they will not eat live fish unless they are very hungry. Because pig-nosed turtles have flipper-shaped limbs, they are not suitable for biting food, so young pig-nosed turtles will not eat live fish unless they are cut by their breeders. As adults, they will be vegetarian and less likely to eat small fish.

with fish? Pig-nosed turtles can be raised with fish because they live at the bottom, and breeders can choose to mix fish living in the middle or upper layers.
