We know that the importance of water bodies in the process of raising water turtles is self-evident. Regardless of whether it is transparent and clean, or it is green, the water itself is of good quality. Otherwise, can the turtles that live in it be good? As you know, if the water is seriously polluted, the fish will die in large numbers. It can be seen that water quality is still very important for the organisms that accompany water.
Good water quality can not only prevent turtles and turtles from getting sick, but also reduce the cost of feeding and ensure the effectiveness of our feeding. In order to maintain water quality, turtle friends usually have three common methods, you might as well see which one you prefer?
First of all, the most intuitive way to do this is to change the water frequently. As soon as the water quality deteriorates, replace it with clean water in time. Although this method is straightforward, it also has its own troubles. Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it can also cause stress due to frequent water changes. What's worse, if the temperature change is not properly controlled when changing the water, it may also cause turtle colds, pneumonia and other diseases.
Therefore, for those who do not have a proper understanding of temperature control and have not yet had a correct understanding of temperature, this method may not be the best choice. In addition, if there are many turtles in the turtle friend, and the total amount of water in the water environment is not large enough, it will be busy if it is time to eat and pull in the summer. It's hot in summer, and I'm also exercising to lose weight.
Secondly, the "lazy turtle raising" method favored by many turtle friends is to install a filtration system. With the filtration system, the water quality of the turtle breeding environment can be better purified, and the water circulation can be smoother. This method not only saves time and effort, but also reduces the risk of disease caused by frequent water changes. If you're looking for an easy way to keep your turtles and care about your health, then choosing the right filter is a good idea.
However, the choice of filtering is still conditional, not arbitrary. The power of the filter and the suitable water body will be explained in the product introduction, and the amount of water and the size of the container must be compared with the feeding environment used now. The small environment is filtered with a large one, and the water flow is too rapid, and it is not suitable for turtles, who still prefer relatively still water. The big environment and small filtration don't work at all. In addition, some turtle friends use a small amount of water, and they also have a filter, which to be honest, does not help. You wonder why there is filtration, and the water is still easy to stink? That's because there is a little bit of water in itself, and even if the filtration is repeated and cycled, it won't have much effect.
In filtration, I personally think that the filtration effect of swamps is better. However, there are also requirements for feeding space. Therefore, if it is really a small environment and a small space, it is the most practical to directly change the water.
Finally, there is the ecosystem feeding method. It involves multiple links such as aquatic animals, plants and microorganisms, and maintains water quality through their interactions. However, this method is relatively complex and requires a high level of space. There is no end to the real ecosystem, only the stricter requirements exist. Most of us enthusiasts are just scratching the surface.
However, similar to swamp filtration, a little decorated with filtration and aquatic plants is already very ecological.
Comparing these three methods comprehensively, in fact, the second method is both practical and efficient. It's still very recommended. Filtration is not a necessity, though. Turtles can also be raised well without the use of filtration. We're just analyzing it from the point of view of labor saving and convenience.
Of course, it is not enough to install a filtration system, you also need to pay attention to the size of the turtle tank and the feeding density. Only when the turtle tank is large enough and the feeding density is moderate, combined with the filtration system, can the long-term stability of water quality be ensured. Therefore, if you want to raise a turtle well, you must not only choose the right method, but also pay attention to the details!
