Changing water for musk turtle every few days generally depends on whether there is filtration equipment or air temperature in the fish tank. If there is filtration equipment in the fish tank, it is usually enough to change the water once a week. This is because the filter net in the filtration equipment will remove insoluble impurities in water, activated carbon will remove soluble impurities in water, and nitrifying bacteria will carry out nitrification to remove harmful gases such as ammonia nitrogen. If there is no filtration equipment in the water, the water is particularly easy to get dirty, so it is enough to change the water once every 3-4 days.

If the temperature is right, their metabolism will be vigorous, and the water will be particularly dirty. In this case, it is necessary to change the water 1-2 days in advance. If the temperature is cold, especially in winter, you can extend the time of changing water at this time, or you don't need to change water.

Musk turtles are reptiles that can live both in water and on land. Therefore, when changing water for them, they need to be taken out first to avoid hurting them. Then take out one third of the water in the fish tank, and then pour the water with the same temperature, hardness and pH as the water in the fish tank. Attention should be paid here not to completely replace the water. If it is completely replaced, the water quality will change too much and cause harm to them. In addition, if tap water is used, chlorine should be removed in advance.
