So they need lots of water to swim? Just bought a very big container for my terrapin. Should I buy some big stones so he can stay out of water when he feel like doing so?

Mine is 9years old. I put it in a tank 2ft x 3.5ft. Water about 4inch deep. Middle got a big rock for him to climb up if he likes. In the tank I keep those $2 goldfish or guppies. I lazy to feed. Set a auto feeder. Food is terrapin pallets mix with smash Maggie mee. Fish is part of terrapin's food. Every 2months I buy new fish.

If I buy 2 more small terrapins to accompany my Big terrapins. Do you guys think the big terrapins will bite or eat the small terrapins?

So actually water level is not important? Because I read that terrapins love to swim and they are good swimmers.

My container is about 60cm by 120cm. So just put stones let it climb up. Water 1cm really enough ma?
