Yellow-headed turtles are not recommended to mix with fish, although they are gentle, do not take the initiative to attack small fish, and like vegetarian food, and generally do not eat small fish. However, they are large in size, and their body length can reach more than 50 cm in adulthood. If they are raised together with fish, there may be insufficient space. In addition, they grow faster, metabolize faster, and easily pollute water quality, so they are not suitable for polyculture with fish.

Yellow-headed turtles cannot be mixed with fish. Many breeders think that yellow-headed turtles are gentle and vegetarian turtles, so they are suitable for mixed breeding with fish. But in fact, this is not the case. They are not only mild-mannered, but also timid. If they are mixed with fish, they are likely to be frightened. Also, the yellow-headed turtle grows faster, so its metabolism is faster, and its pollution to water quality is serious, so it cannot be mixed with fish. In addition, they are large in size, and most of them are more than 50 cm long in adulthood. Although they all move at the bottom, they will float to the water regularly to take a breath. On the way to take a breath, they may also scare the fish.

Yellow-headed turtles can be mixed with other turtles, but they should be mixed with turtles with mild personality and similar body shape. In addition, yellow-headed turtles are timid, so don't raise them together with other turtles when they are just bought home, otherwise it is difficult for yellow-headed turtles to adapt to the new environment. Breeders need to keep them alone for a period of time, and then try to mix with other turtles after they are no longer afraid of their owners.

Yellow-headed turtles are larger in size, and mixed turtles are all similar in size. Therefore, breeders need to prepare a larger container for them to ensure that they have sufficient living space.
