I have 5 turtles in a 40 gallon tank. 2 of them are about 2 and a half years old or so (rough estimate, Ive had them for 6 months and was told by the girl at the petshop they were about 2) and 2 hatchlings that I ordered online, 2 red eared babies and one yellow belly slider. I just found today one of them floating by the filter, for a second I thought he was playing in the waterfall then I realized he wasnt moving at all. This is so sad and I have no idea what killed him, I put plenty of food in there and the temperature is right at 80 degrees. It was at 72 degrees for about a day or two but thats it. The other 4 turtles seem to be doing ok. Hes dead but his eyes look swollen, my best guess would be he died from RI. I feel terrible as I never noticed any of them were sick and I wonder if I could have saved the cute little guy if I would have noticed but just days ago all the kids were hanging out basking together, seemed to be doing great etc.
Oh man
RIP little guy
