My 8 year old neighbor lost interest in his turtle so I adopted her. She seems very healthy and I have her in a 40 gal breeder tank w a Whisper 40i filter. I'm feeding Tetra ReptoMin floating food sticks that I just noticed is for babies (oops) and Tetra River Shrimp which is what the former owner fed exclusively. I put some aquarium plants in, the long stems w short leaves & I put a small piece of red leaf lettuce in every couple of days. One problem is that the water is very hazy and there is lots of food debris on the bottom of the tank. I checked the filter after just one week and it was full. I changed the filter and vacuumed out the majority of the debris and changed 3/4 of the water.
Suggestions??
