Hi,

I'm not sure if this is normal...

When my turtle is "water borne" in water with his head above the water it seems that he is breathes heavily that his shell is just going up and down... :roll:

I can't quite picture what you're saying. Are there any other signs that something's wrong?

I think he is bobbing from the current in your tank made by the filter
I have 5 RES, 2 ASN, and 1 DBT
