Hi all, Tina here from the state of NY. I was brought 2 red ear sliders as a rescue about a month ago. They came in a 29 gal long tank, no lights no dock, nothing. I have never even entertained the idea of owning turtles,I am a fish hobbyist usually. I have been scouring the internet for basic info, one is very big and one is kind of smaller. Just trying to make these guys comfy, bought them a fake dock, lights, rocks and 2 filters as soon as I got them, started feeding Flukers buffet along with kale and carrots, they love carrots. I cannot keep this water clean and they seem rambunctious or stressed during the day, not sure if that's just their temperament or if I need to do something else. I have been doing 2/3 water change daily. I realize they need a bigger space and a better diet, I was told they weren't fed anything for at least 2 weeks before I got them. One is approx. 6 inches and the other 4.5. I have offered them to friends that I know could take care of them but the large size of the big one seems to turn folks away. I really don't want them to be neglected again and there goes my soft spot for critters. Hoping to find lots of info here.
