Aquatic plants serve as excellent decorations and also mid-meal snacks for your turtles.
There are many more benefits of having plants in your tank, which we will
not elaborate here. The best part of keeping aquatic plants is that your turtles
can feed on them at their own discretion. (which is also quite unfortunate
as they tend to eat them more often than not - and you will end up replacing your
plants quite frequently!)
We personally recommend that you float
some water lettuce on top of the water - it looks extremely dainty, and is available with most nurseries. Some other water
plants that are safe for the turtle, and you can float in the habitat are -
Water Lily, Duckweed, and Water Hyacinth.
Most acquarium plants are safe for your turtles.
