Extended data:

Turtle is an amphibian, breathing with its lungs, so there should be enough land beaches around or in the center of a fish pond for it to carry out land activities. The living habits of turtles can be summarized as "three joys and three fears", that is, they like quietness but fear shock, yang and wind, and clean and fear pollution. Turtles are sensitive to the sounds of their surroundings. As long as there is a slight movement around, turtles can quickly dive into the bottom mud, so the environment of turtle farm or turtle pond must be kept quiet.

If the soft-shelled turtle is often frightened, it is very unfavorable to its growth and reproduction. Trionyx sinensis is an aquatic omnivore and likes to eat animal bait. Young turtles feed on aquatic insects, water worms, tadpoles and shrimps. Adult turtles feed on mollusks such as snails and clams, fish, shrimp and animal carcasses (because they can't fish), and also eat plant feed such as vegetables, fruits and miscellaneous grains.
