a little more than a year ago i got 3 baby red ear sliders from china town, i didnt know they would need so much care and be so costly but soon after getting them i was able to set them up with the right equipment and care. they are in a 30gal tank with a dock, the waters temp is maintained at 82 degrees fahrenheit, the tank has a filter, the water is changed frequently, their UVA and UVB light is on 24/7, they are fed 3x a week along with vitamins and calcium drops, and i clean the slime off of their shells regularly. but i havnt noticed them grow at all! their shells are still about 1 1/2" by about 1 1/2". not sure whats wrong but im sure they should have grown in the last year! please help by commenting, am i doing something wrong? is this normal?
