Musk turtles cannot be raised together with parrot fish, because they are not the same species of animals and have different requirements and habits for living environment. Musk turtles are highly active and may attack parrot fish. Parrot fish have high requirements for water quality. They like weak acidic water quality and can't live well in weak alkaline and neutral water. Moreover, they like clean and refreshing water quality. Musk turtles can eat and pull, which seriously pollutes the water quality. In addition, parrot fish are hybrid fish, and their lips are naturally lax, so they need more oxygen to live normally. Musk turtles do not require high oxygen, so they are not suitable for polyculture together.

Musk turtles are not recommended to be raised with fish, because they are lively and like to chase small fish. If the fish are small, they may eat small fish. If you choose larger fish, most of them will not swim very fast, and musk turtles can easily bite them. Moreover, musk turtles need regular sun exposure, so breeders need to build a balcony for them. If the balcony is put together with the fish, it may affect the normal activities of the fish.
