Can you keep turtles in the fish tank?

It is not recommended to keep turtles in fish tanks for maintenance. Although turtles can survive in water, they need a lot of space to swim and explore. Turtles can grow very big in the right environment and need enough space to turn around, swim and bask in the sun. If they are put in fish tanks, they may lack exercise space and breeding environment, thus affecting their health and happiness.

Keeping turtles requires corresponding habitats, including sufficient water and land area, good filtration system and appropriate lighting and heating equipment. Turtles need different types and temperatures of water to meet their different dietary and growth needs. They also need sterile water to avoid diseases.

A better choice is to put the turtles in an aquarium or turtle pond specially designed for them. These devices are usually longer and wider than fish tanks, and have sufficient depth and water quality regulation equipment. In addition, they are allowed to increase land and feed support to meet the needs of turtles.

In short, although turtles can survive in water, keeping them in fish tanks will affect their growth and health, and may also cause them to get sick. It is suggested to choose suitable equipment and environment to perch on your tortoise to ensure that they get enough care and happiness.
