that pig-nosed turtles like weak alkaline water, and breeders need to adjust the water quality to fresh and clean weak alkaline water. You can also lay a layer of coral sand on the bottom of the tank to adjust the water quality to be weakly alkaline. The water for raising them needs to be prepared in advance, and if tap water is used, it is best to use it after 2 days of exposure to the sun.
At ordinary times, it is better to open the circulating filtration system to ensure clean water quality. The pig-nosed turtle needs a deep water level, so the frequency of water change does not need to be too high. If there is a circulating filtration system, it can be changed twice a week, and the amount of water changed each time can be controlled at one sixth of the total water volume. However, it is necessary to clean the food residues and feces at the bottom of the jar every day to avoid polluting the water quality.
pig-nosed turtles to live in about 5-6 feet of water in the wild, that is to say, they usually live in about 1.8 meters of deep water. Artificial breeding is difficult to reach this water level, so the height of the water level can be reduced, the most appropriate water level is about 1 meter, if conditions permit, it can be deeper, if not, the height of the water level can not be less than 0.5 meters. Because if the water level is too low, the pig-nosed turtle will be stunted.
