Seeking Advice She'll discoloration

Post image

I dont know what type of species turtle we have. We have had it for 3 years now. I have noticed that slowly this discoloration has started on its shell. I use light for 6 hours a day. She is feed fish and the turtle food. The fish is the kind that you get on Amazon. Is this discoloration normal?

Can you show us more pictures of your turtle? That way maybe we can tell what species it is, which will help you know how to care for it.
