i have 2 adolescent red eared sliders. gus whos about 2inches and woogie whos about an inch and a half used to share their tank peacefully then about 5 days ago they started fighting so iseparated them but now woogie never basks and gus ALWAYS basks. also while gus basks he lays his head in the water. like hes lazy. he occasionally drinks but mostly just puts his head in the water. is this bad? he still eats but barely ever swims. im also worried about woogie. he never basks. cant he get shell rot? how often should they bask and for how long to prevent shell rot? the tanks are set up right. i read alot about them just cant figure out whats wrong. ihope gus isnt sick!!! HELP!
