I spent all morning getting him into a better home.
I wanted to go for the natural look of a river bed but it was way to messy like you said. So now I have 2 large rocks with pebble bottom, a whisper filter (a small one, but I think its fine for just 1 turtle), I did buy a heater for the water, but I am not sure if I should use it or not, I also have a jet to keep the water flowing, and also a floating dock like you said. But i'm afraid he'll get stuck in between the glass and the dock. I was a little weary about it so I took it out to fix it so that it won't move side to side. It has brackets and suction cups but it still moves side to side.

I also have a 150w light bulb that gives off plenty of heat, and another bulb for the live plants.

My little guy is about an inch in length. He isn't eating the pellets. I hate to have to spend a ton on food and not have him eat it. I split the pellets into tiny pieces because they were too large for his little mouth. How often do they eat anyway?! Before with the live stuff in there he ate some waterbugs, but I havn't seen him eat since.
