Last weekend I bought a hatchling Fl. softshell at a reptile show, I should have known better, it was obvious that the turtle had a fungus infection, but I wanted to help. I felt sorry for it (it was in a rubbermade with about 50 redbellies, yellowbellies, and other softshells, most of the turtles were in poor health). I have been treating him with sulfa bath and gold bond fungus powder, and I have a sulfa block in his tank. Is there anything else I can do? This isn't my first softy, I have 3 others (seperate tanks from the hatchling of course), It's just the first time that I have had to deal with this sort of problem in years! Any and all info will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Christy
