In captivity they rely on you to change the water periodically, considering they have to swim in their own shit. Eating their natural forage creates a lot of amonia. Even a diet of Reptomin "formulated turtle chow" will still foul the water fairly quickly without some sort of filtration or H2O changes.
I used to breed turtles when I was kid, No the offspring didn't look like me ? I had a regular farm, I raised them and sold them to various pet stores and even shipped them across state.
