In the tranquil waters, there lives a small and agile creature-the apple snail.

They are not only a part of the water world, but also the "guardians" of water quality. Through changes in their behavior and body color, we can gain insight into subtle changes in water quality. So it is not only a turtle ration, but also a good turtle raising partner.

When apple snails start to slow down As you get closer to the surface, this is a sign that there is not enough dissolved oxygen in the water. These tiny creatures rely on oxygen in the water to sustain life, and once dissolved oxygen levels drop, they instinctively seek out more sources of oxygen. Therefore, this behavior of apple snails has become an important indicator for us to observe water quality conditions.

If you notice that the body color of these apple snails is starting to turn yellow, then this is likely to be a sign of harsh chemicals in the water. These chemicals may come from industrial pollution, agricultural pollution or domestic sewage, etc. They have adverse effects on the physiological functions of apple snails, causing changes in their body color.

Even more seriously, when apple snails begin to die in large numbers, it usually means that the chemicals in the water have reached toxic levels. These toxic substances may contain heavy metals, toxic chemicals, etc., which have caused fatal harm to apple snails and also pose a huge threat to the entire ecosystem.

In addition, when the water quality is too hard, , you will find that the shell of the apple snail begins to turn white. This is because the content of calcium, magnesium and other minerals in hard water is too high, and they react with substances in the apple snails, causing the shells to turn white. This is also an important sign for us to observe water hardness.

However, if apple snails begin to multiply in the water, it usually means the water quality is good. Sufficient oxygen, suitable food and a suitable living environment provide ideal growth conditions for apple snails, allowing them to grow and reproduce healthily. This is also an important indicator for us to measure the health of water quality.

Through their behavior and body color changes, they provide us with valuable water quality information. We should value these little creatures and observe them to better understand and protect our water resources. Therefore, you can divide a small area as the living space of the apple snail, and it can help you observe the water quality of the turtle.
