Maybe its the current of the filter that makes it look like he's swimming backwards? I'm stumped..

we dont have a current that strong in the tank. I think its just a new trick he learned

That is too funny! He's paddling so fast that he starts going backwards. He's "moon swimming".

Mine back away when they are spooked, but man those little guys have a lot of energy!

Oh man, I can't stop laughing!! That is so funny! Baby turtles are so cute! It's like his paddling get's out of sync and he starts going backwards instead of forwards.

Lol "Moon-swimming" I think I am going to have to call it that from now on. Good name goose!

they beg exactly like your turtles, by swimming to the glass!

My big girls still do that sometimes..too funny

Mine will back-pedal when they want to change directions. To me, it does seem like something in the current is causing him to move like that, especially when it looks like he's being pushed downward...

i was just thinking that, it does look like it's struggling.

Mine is doing that also, its really funny when he's chasing the little Neon fish, cuz they're really fast, so he chases them, then they disapear somewhere and he like stops and tries to look around... haha =)
