Turtle tanks get dirty quickly due to waste buildup from the turtles, uneaten food, and algae growth. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help keep the tank clean and the water quality high for your turtles.
The bad smell in your turtle tank is likely due to dirty water and waste buildup. To fix the stinky turtle tank issue, regularly clean the tank, change the water, and remove any uneaten food or waste. Consider using a water filter and adding live plants to help maintain water quality.
Try to get it, 3 times bigger than your turtle. I have a not so little red eared turtle and i keep it in a large tank.
It gets sick, so if you want a happy turtle clean it.
that depends on the size of your tank ....my tank is not very huge and has 9 fishes in them plus a filter so it takes about a month and a half to get dirty.my tank is only about 20 inches long and 10 inches wide.
My turtle is a baby and I have a 50 litre tank. He would probably fit into it until he is about 5-6 years old, maybe even older. So maybe if your turtle is older than 10 years old, get a larger tank.
First if you have not already got a tank, go to a pet store and ask for the right size tank for your turtle. Also while you are there get at least 2 or more bags of gravel. Plus get some sand too. fill the bottom of the tank with the gravel and put a large hill goring up with the sand so your turtle can have land. put some small logs and drift wood into the tank so your turtle can hide. also put some aquatic plants in to so if you forget to feed it he/she can eat the plants. plus get a filter. then put your turtle in and he/she can enjoy the tank.
When they're a baby try a ten gallon tank. The tank will ned to get bigger as the turtle does so it has more space
If a turtle has outgrown its tank, it will of course need a bigger tank. Expecting a turtle to stop growing only leads to malformed bones. Because many commonly kept turtle species grow so large, it's best to start out with a 55-75 gallon tank or larger; many owners of adult female turtles such as sliders end up using stock tanks for indoor or outdoor mini ponds.
-It looks like a regular tank, if your worried about the smell its most likely the ammonia. You tank will most likely contract ammonia if the tank is too small or doesn't have enough water. -Turtles naturally have salmonella with in them, so always be sure to wash your hands before and after touching your turtle and its equipment
Pretty simple, actually. Fish poo. It's nothing more than fish waste and scraps of food that haven't been eaten. A fishless aquarium will stay pretty clean.
hi you need to have the rock high enough out of the water so when the turtle sits on it the shell will be able to dry off.
A common good rule of thumb for figuring out how much water a turtle needs is to measure its shell from head to tail. A turtle needs five gallons of water for every inch long that it is. So only a hatch-ling can be kept in a 5 gallon tank.
