Is it good to keep a small turtle at home? How much water to add matters

Many people are familiar with small turtles; they are a common animal in daily life. Nowadays many people also keep them at home, and it is said that this can bring certain benefits to the home's feng shui. Is that really true? When keeping a small turtle, the amount of water is a very key issue, so exactly how much water should be added to be best?

How much water to add when keeping a small turtle

1. When keeping a turtle, the water should be added to at least cover the top of the turtle's head so that it can breathe. The amount of water is generally best when it is slightly higher than the turtle's shell, so that the turtle can breathe as soon as it stretches out its head. Especially for smaller turtles, the water must not be too much.

2. In the middle of the basin, you can also place a stone a bit larger than the turtle's shell, and somewhat flat. It should be slightly higher than the water surface. This makes it convenient as a resting place for the turtle when it wants to come ashore. In short, remember that turtles breathe with their lungs. So if the water level is too high, there must be a corresponding place where the turtle can climb up to breathe. (Water - do not directly use tap water or well water. The water must be left to stand for more than 2 days before it can be used. It is best to let it be exposed to the sun. This point is very important. The issue of water quality is also very important.

Is it good to keep a small turtle at home

Keeping a small turtle at home does have certain benefits for feng shui.

1. Adding longevity: The turtle is an auspicious animal symbolizing longevity. Keeping one at home can help add longevity to the household, and it is even better to keep one in a home with elderly people.

2. Blocking and neutralizing bad energy: The turtle shell has the effect in feng shui of blocking and neutralizing bad energy. This is the reason for keeping a turtle in a place with beam bad energy.

3. Protecting the family: The turtle is a spiritual creature. With proper keeping methods, its divine nature can be used to protect the whole family.

4. A turtle that roams around freely is called in feng shui a “bad-energy-neutralizing turtle.” When one's luck is extremely poor or one is inherently lacking in fire, one can keep a turtle at home and let it roam around freely. On one hand, this uses the turtle shell to block bad energy and drive away misfortune; on the other hand, it can strengthen fire luck and drive away negative and evil spirits.

How often to change the water when keeping a small turtle

Generally speaking, of course the water should be changed when it gets dirty. It is suggested that after each time you finish feeding the turtle, the turtle will then poop. After pooping, of course the water becomes dirty. So this is the best time to change the water. It is suggested to change only 2/3 of the water, leaving part of the old water in it. There is another way to maintain water quality, which is to promptly scoop out impurities and poop from the water. When feeding, take the turtle to another place to feed it, and after feeding put the turtle back. Note that the water for keeping turtles must absolutely not suddenly become cold or hot. Constant temperature is most important.

Placement position for a small turtle kept at home

1. Placement direction: The turtle is a branch of the Black Tortoise, and its Five Elements attribute is water. Water is in the north, so if you keep a turtle, it is best to keep it in the north. It is suggested to place some green plants nearby to form a pattern of water and wood generating each other. In this way, the turtle's lifespan will also be long, and the owner's fortune will also be better.

2. Placement environment: Do not place items or electrical appliances with the Five Elements attribute of fire next to the turtle, as this will cause harm to the turtle and thereby affect the owner's fortune. Moreover, placing fire-attribute items will form a pattern of water and fire balancing each other, which will likewise have a bad effect on the owner.

3. Placement location: Turtles are usually placed in the living room (the bright hall). The feng shui of the bright hall is related to the health fortune of the household owner, and every house has its own wealth position. Therefore, as long as it is placed in the wealth position of the living room, it can boost the household owner's wealth fortune, but the wealth position of the living room differs according to circumstances.

Generally, do not add too much water for a small turtle; it is enough to let it breathe. Of course, you also need to change the water regularly to ensure the water quality is clean. Keeping a small turtle at home indeed has many benefits, and there are also certain particular points about its placement position. Some detailed introductions are given above, and I hope they can be of some help to everyone.
