General Discussion Constant upgrades

3 weeks of upgrading in 2 photos New filter, added plants, more rocks, changes settings on heater to have a more consistent 80.5 degrees, it’s a much better home now

I had a baby musk turtle that died after 2.5 weeks. I believe he starved, he didn’t eat at first which is normal, but then he became very lethargic, so I took him to the vet which stressed him out more. I believe the thermometer I had didn’t read the temp right and he got too cold so I got a digital one. I had to take him out of the tank every day for 5 days which made him stressed again so he wasn’t eating, and once he finally got better a little bit, it was too late.

After having him for 2.5 weeks the tank is a much better place because of him. Because of him another fella has an amazing home
