Larger filters are ideal, although they may cost a lot of money. In addition, a good filter should be equipped with a biological wheel, which can help grow many beneficial bacteria.

 

Proper nutrition Like most other animals, turtles thrive when they meet their nutritional needs. In fact, good nutrition can make turtles grow faster and help prevent them from contracting diseases.

Like mature turtles, baby turtles need to bathe. If the body is not cleaned for a long time, the turtle will develop some infections, which may lead to poor health or even death. To avoid this situation, there must be a heating zone. You can float the sun floating board area in the upper part of the water tank. As the turtle grows in size, its weight may sink it, so other things may be needed.

• Change water at least once a week. A water tank that does not change water for a long time may increase the growth of garbage.

• There are additives that can be used to help clean water. Read the instructions carefully to use only the correct amount.

• Turtles may chew most things that are put in the water tank. Avoid putting cleaning agents such as snails in it, because the snail may be swallowed even before it hits the bottom of the tank.

• Wash hands thoroughly after handling turtles. They are known to contain Salmonella bacteria that may be harmful to humans.
