The requirements of musk turtles for water quality are not high. First of all, they do not have too great requirements for the pH value of water. As long as it is not acidic or alkaline water, they can survive. However, they prefer to live in neutral water, and it is best for breeders to adjust the water quality to neutral. In addition, they all live in swamps or silt in the wild, so they don't have high requirements for the cleanliness of water quality. Breeders only need to change water regularly to ensure that the water quality is clean and refreshing.

Although musk turtles do not require high water quality, in the process of breeding, breeders should also pay attention to the fact that they cannot be raised with tap water just received, which will affect their health. It is best to dry the tap water for a few days before giving it to musk turtles, so as to avoid discomfort.

The requirements of musk turtles for water temperature are not particularly high, and their origin is mainly distributed in America with higher latitude, so their adaptability to water temperature is relatively strong. Generally speaking, they can survive as long as the water temperature is above 20 ℃. But if breeders want them to grow better, it is best to keep the water temperature between 25 and 30 ℃. In this temperature range, their appetite and activity are the best, and their growth and development speed is also the fastest.
