It's been two months since I got my RES and recently bought a new baby res and found out that that it was weird and had some fungal infection + white stuff on shell + eye infection. Had it returned but did put it into the tank with the other two RES.

just yesterday white lines was seen on the turtle and today there was more seen on the turtle.

Is there something wrong or fungal infection or just rapid growth? We cant seem to figure out, please help!

P.S It was still active (kicking hard) when it was held in hand and was chasing a fish at 5am.

Looks like just growth to me. I see nothing else. Normal to see growth lines but if they get any thicker your giving to much protein to him/her.
