  1. All turtles must surface for air they don't come with gills. As far as the fish question I'm not sure but try googling "vegetarian turtles"


  2. dont feed for a couple of days then he'll be fine  

  3. abvsolutely not! Any type of turtle requires a very large tank, an expensive filter, a heater, a basking place above the water, a basking lamp, a uvb lamp, and a variety of food. All turtles need to rest on land and bask under a warm heat lamp, and they also need an expensive uvb light. And they eat everything imaginable crickets,insects, worms, shrimp, krill, plants, FISH....do not keep any type of turtle without researching about them first.

  4. All aquatic turtles dine on fish and worms and crickets and crayfish and bugs and small frogs..anything that moves!

    The bigger the environment the bigger the healthier the turtle.

    Did you know that they need to bask under a reptile light UVA for 8 to 10 hrs a day for the vitamin D that they need to grow. So that means getting a turtle dock also.

    Leave the heater on 75 to 78 degrees always.

    Their water needs to be clean otherwise they get sick easily from dirty water cause they p**p allot.

    You need a good filter system! Gravel larger than they can swallow.

    You need to feed them feeder guppies, goldfish or minnows for protein and calcium daily drop 20 or so in the tanks and watch them disappear! This way when they swim for their dinner they get exercise also!

    TOSS in a bird cuttle bone in the water for calcium. it will dissolve real slow and if they eat it that’s fine!!

    They can have garden worm, meal worms, crickets, flies, crayfish and  anything that moves!

    They need leafy greens Romaine, Butter lettuce. (Iceberg and cabbage are bad for them, any other leafy greens will do) for vitamin A that they need at least 3 to 4 times a week.

    You probably already know that they get sick easily, shell rot, respiratory sickness, lopsided swimming, coughing, blowing bubbles from their nose, Swollen cloudy eyes means lacking in Vitamin A. Which we all need for good eyes. Google ‘vegetables with Vitamin A.

    I wish you luck.
