Chinese pond turtles can be kept as pets; they are generally lively and gentle, not harming other turtles or fish, and can live with other aquatic creatures. Some individuals may bully others or love eating water plants.
They are cheap, adaptable, and not very fearful, so easy to keep; some males turn into dark ink turtles with high ornamental value.
