You can just use regular water. In the summer/warm weather, I clean my turtles' tank outside with my hose. I also use faucet water. If you'd like to know how I specifically clean my turtles' tank, please contact me or reply to this answer.
About a 20 gallon tank.
Goldfish and turtles should not be kept together in the same tank. Goldfish require cooler water temperatures and clean water, while turtles need warmer temperatures and may carry bacteria harmful to fish. Mixing them can lead to health issues for both species.
Most of a turtles tank should be water a quarter should be land because water keeps it hydrated and strong and health and land just dries him/her out!!
3-4 inches.2 inches would suffice.answer- the first answer is only for like hatchling turtles. you should only put water above the turtle so it can lift its head out to bread
To effectively clean a dirty turtle tank and ensure the health of your pet turtles, follow these steps: Remove the turtles from the tank and place them in a safe container with clean water. Drain the tank completely and remove any debris or waste. Scrub the tank walls, decorations, and filter with a mild soap or aquarium-safe cleaner. Rinse everything thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue. Refill the tank with dechlorinated water and add back the turtles. Regularly clean the tank, change the water, and monitor water quality to maintain a healthy environment for your pet turtles.
no RES turtles are fresh water turtles
Ideally a sea turtle should have a large saltwater tank with both water and land surfaces. The water should be regularly cleaned and changed out when too dirty. The tank should not be in direct sunlight. Sea turtles have a different diet than land turtles, and can include small bait fish that have been frozen or otherwise sterilized.
Yes, they can live in dry land or in water :)
NO! Turtles are reptiles and should be kept in a vivarium never in an aquarium with fish. Reptiles and amphibians will foul the water and the fish will not survive.
I have ping pong balls in my tank for my guys to play with.
I think you should ask the turtle how to check your spelling first.
