From the name of green turtles, we can imagine what they look like. Turtles that generally breed this kind of algae are more common. Below is an introduction to green turtle species!

Introduction to green-haired turtle varieties (picture)

< p> The green-haired turtle, also known as the divine turtle in ancient times, is an organic combination of green algae and turtles. The orthodox green-haired turtle system is to cross-seed the turtle dorsal bacterium on the body surface of turtles such as yellow-throated turtles, ratite turtles, eye-spotted turtles, etc. The length of the green hair is more than 4 to 5 centimeters. The "green hair" of the green turtle is the green tassel-like hairy algae.

　Shape characteristics

The Green Turtle was originally a freshwater turtle with a turtle's back. It is an exquisite mixture of animals and aquatic plants. Because the algae on the back of the turtle are green and filamentous, up to 25 centimeters long, and look like hair in the water, it is called the green-haired turtle.

Scope of Dispersion

Chinese wild green turtles are scattered in some special niches in the hilly mountains of the Yangtze River. One of the important producing areas for turtles. However, due to changes in the natural environment and the shrinkage of wild turtle species, it is difficult to find traces of wild green turtles.

Use of turtle species

The best turtle species for cultivating green turtles are yellow-throated water turtles, four-eyed stone turtles, and long-billed turtles. Tail turtle, three-line closed-shell turtle. The selected individuals should be well-developed, disease-free, injury-free, with complete carapace, fast movement, and beautiful appearance. Female individuals should be selected as breeding objects. The individual size should be 100-200g each, and the breeding success rate is higher. Tall, petite and exquisite, especially good-looking.

Identification of cross-breeding algae

There are many varieties of green algae used to cultivate green turtles, but Basilophora is the most suitable. It grows in warm waters and has strong survival ability. It is often scattered on rocks in mountain streams and streams with fast currents. The identification method of this algae is to look at it, touch it twice, pull it three times, and burn it four times. That is to say, look at the color. It is dark green, filamentous, without branches, and the algae body is strong. If you touch it with your hands, it will feel slightly rough and soft. , it is better if there is no heavy feeling; it is better if the algae body can be straightened and not broken when pulled by hand, and there is a certain pulling force, and it is better if the algae body is pulled without any hard sound; if the algae body is rolled up with fire, it will have a green smell besides the smell.The one with the smell of burning hair is better. After collecting the algae seeds, they should be cleaned immediately. It is best to place them in a ceramic bowl in a place with strong natural light. The water should be changed every 3 to 5 days for breeding purposes.

Crossing of Green Turtles

Since Cladophylla is an aquatic plant, its growth and development are closely related to the water temperature, so the timing of crossing should be Adoption occurs during its growth period, generally in the second quarter of life. The best time is spring, because the peak growth period is from March to May every year. Since the weather conditions vary from place to place, the water temperature should be used as the basic parameter. It is most suitable to breed when the water temperature is 16~25℃. When the water temperature is lower than 16°C, algal cells are not easy to grow, and when the water temperature is higher than 25°C, the algal cells are prone to fester and die.
