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.
How do you take care of a sea turtle?
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.

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.
Can 2 female water turtles in the same tank?
If the tank is large enough and the turtles are compatible. If there is aggression, separate immediately. The general rule of thumb is 10 gallons of water for every inch of shell. So, if you have two 4 inch turtles, you need at least 80 gallons of water. Bottom walking turtles don't need that much water because they don't "swim" (they can, but generally don't), and my general rule of thumb for musks is 10 gallons for every 2 inches of shell.
What do water turtles play?
I have ping pong balls in my tank for my guys to play with.
