Thanks for reaching out about your tank. Long plastic plants that extend from the bottom, all the way to the top can providing hiding spaces to decrease any territoriality or aggression. Live plants might be susceptible to the snails, depending on their type. Good luck.

I would recommend to call the local pet stores (including Petco) and ask if they ever carry that species. Sometimes the fish can be out of stock. Some of the smaller fish stores can have a good variety of fish available. Best of luck!

If you are referring to Mystery Snails, then 3 or 4 would be fine for that size tank. Some aquarists may recommend 1-2 snails per 5 gallons, but it depends on what else you plan on keeping in the tank.

You can gently scrub the shell with a soft bristled toothbrush. If the brown coloring is due to algae growth, this may help. A minor crack should heal on ownit's own. Maintain pristine water quality to aid in recovery. You can use a home test kit or submit a water sample for testing. The local Petco may do this for free or for a small fee. Perform partial water changes as needed to stabilize chemistry and/or to improve water quality. A vacation feeder block can be placed in the tank to provide extra calcium for shell health.

Hello, & thank you for using Boop by Petco. Juvenile RES should receive commercial aquatic turtle pellets, supplemented occasionally with live fish (guppies, goldfish), & earthworms. Make sure she gets at least 15 minutes of natural sunlight weekly. Adults need 30% of diet to be the pellets & some protein like mentioned above. The krill can be offered on occasion. 70% of the diet needs to be plants in the form of chopped leafy greens, kale, romaine, mustard greens, dandelion greens, watercress, parsley, shredded carrot, frozen (thawed) mixed veggies & squash, & occasional fruit. Take care.
