So I'm worried about my 4 year old RES. He's adopted and his name is Atticus. He came to me 6 inches long with pyramiding and the edges of his shell were curled down. He also appeared to have what she described as shell rot. I quickly upgraded his 10 gallon tank to a 30 and within 2 weeks his shape normalized. He still has some curling on the edges and his shell looks much better but I'm not sure what normal is.
He eats everyother day with occasional snacks of fish and dark greens. He basks and swims happily all the time. I'm really concerned that its bacterial infection and if so i need to yank my new 10 month old rio grande RES out of his tank before she's infected too.
