Musk turtles can be mixed with yellow-headed side-necked turtles, razor turtles, round Australian turtles, egg turtles and map turtles. Musk turtles are small in size and not particularly fierce in character. These turtles are similar in size to musk turtles and relatively mild in character. Mixing them with musk turtles can reduce the frequency of fighting. In addition, these kinds of turtles like to live in deep water, which is similar to the habits of musk turtles.
2. What should be paid attention to in polyculture of musk turtles1. Choose suitable turtles: When musk turtles are polyculture, breeders need to choose suitable turtles for them, because their size is small and their ability to grab food is not strong. Breeders need to choose turtles with similar habits to reduce their fighting.
2. Set up a shelter: Musk turtles will inevitably have conflicts when they are mixed with other turtles. Breeders need to prepare a shelter for them so that they can avoid attacks for a short time. If conditions permit, some aquatic plants can be planted, so that they can shuttle back and forth in the aquatic plants to avoid the attack of other turtles.
3. Pay attention to clean water quality: When musk turtles are mixed with other turtles, breeders need to increase the frequency of water change. Because the number of mixed turtles increases, the pollution to water quality will also increase. Breeders need to change water 2-3 times a week to ensure clean water quality. If conditions permit, filters can be installed to slow down the deterioration of water quality.
