can someone help me with my turtle i think he has shell rot. he as like this when i purchased him 4 weeks ago
can someone please advise.
i have got some clotrimazole cream and tablets. i disolved a clotrimazole 500mg in the water during the last water change and i have been rubbing clotrimazole cream into his shell once every 2 days. it seems to be clearing a little but i am still concearned. there is no smell coming from the shell.
i keep the water at 26c and the basking area is 30c.
he is fed on dried shrimp, frozen gammouris, frozen turtle food, meal worms, dandelon, various fruits and veg once a week. i also have some live plants in the tank that he sometime snacks on. also he does eat the fish food that i give for the guppies.
he has both uvb and a heat lamp.
filteration of his tank is done by an interpet ipf duo 2 and a fluval 2. plus 25% water changes each week and random poop scoopings when i see fit.
any help and advice will be great.
if you need better pics please let me know.
