I have a 2 year old soft shell turtle, Bubbles. He has always been active and healthy, but lately he is not eating and is not swimming around, he just kinda floats around now. He has also developed some dark spots on his shell that were not there before. My boyfriend seems to think it has something to do with the filter, we recently moved him into a larger tank and bought a new filter of course, the charcoal filter was not keeping the water clean so I put the polisher filter in, which keeps the water very clear, could that have something to do with it? I could really use some help.

Thanks
