my one turtle miles just died, im not sure how it happened b'c my dad is taking care of them while i am at school, he said miles was lethargic and not eating (which he never ate as much as sonic did) my dad put him in a separate tank and did everything he could but he did not make it

my question is, will this effect the other turtle sonic in any way, not that they will die of the same thing. But Sonic is now by himself. they were both small when i got them, and they grew, but Sonic is still very young. He is normally agressive and now he is not. He is eating but he may not be basking. i will be able to keep an eye on him friday but i was just wondering, if he would need another turtle, or if he will be fine by himself

1st of all I am sorry for your loss

Turtles are really better off by themselves
It is never really a good thing that they are kept together

Sorry for your loss.
I would recommend doing a 100% water change, and give the media a good rinse too. Also, maybe bump the temperature to 78 for a little while to give his immune system a boost.
