quick question do all maps breed or do you need the same type ??

@FreddieMcswaggness not sure, but i would think you can intermingle some of the species with not much problems, but not sure on this, because sliders do it, cant see why maps dont. not sure though

HELP NEEDED, MY SMALL SOFT SHELL TURTLE HAS FUNGUS ON ITS SHELL, WATER IS PERFECT GOOD FILTER UVB LIGHT SAND EST, NEED HELP ON HOW TO CURE IT DONT WANT TO LOSE MY LITTLE GUY PLEASE MESSAGE ME!!!!

[EcBuddy123]

@2012supersophie just follow the general steps in the video, but there may be other things being that you mention it is on the shell, i hear those are cause by scratches of the turtle bumping or rubbing causing small scratched on its soft shell, is there anything in the tank that may cause abrasions to its shell? im not really informed on how to take care of that infection, message me the type of turtle and will gladly look and help you research how to cure your turtle.

Okay so how do I make te salt water?and it's safe for it to be completely in it?

[EcBuddy123]

@TheSCstudios just mix regular salt for aquariums (for saltwater tanks) into a small place with water, i usually cover the botom but not like with a lot of salt, and make sure that the water is above the turtles shell, it should be in there no more than like 2 hours, if you do an all day bath then give them breaks where they bask inbetween the 2 hours, and then put them back in, with clean salt water

[EcBuddy123]

@TheSCstudios keep the water clean and at the right ph is a good thing to do, the steps in the video should work if its fungus, which is just salt water basically and put the turtle to soak for a couple of hours, then on a basking platform to dry COMPLETELY then you can put it back in a small tank that can quickly and easily be disinfected, to clean the quarantine tank every week atleast with soap and water (i use dawn) sooner if no filter on the tank.
