Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Help with softshell turtles
I got 5 spiny soft shell hatchlings about a week ago. They're in a 40g tank, water heater, UVB, big filter, and on sand. The water is purified spring/well water. They are housed with 4 small red clawed crabs, 4 shrimp, and a blue crayfish (clean up crew). This poor guy looks rough, I'm not sure if it's a fungal infection, or abrasions. He's dry docking himself, and has been since yesterday. The white spots seem raised, and don't rub off. I've been treating the water with "turtle fix" for 3 days now, the bottle says to continue for a week.
Should I used betadine to help treat the shell?
Going to the vet Tuesday, any help until then would be highly appreciated.
