And no, get a 40G breeder for starters or a 90G for life. It needs a bigger footprint than a 55G has to offer

It is currently in a 30 gallon tank(i alwys tell my parents to upgrade) we were going to upgrade sometime soon.
He wants a tank he can keep it in for life, so the age and size is mostly irrelevant. A 90G should be the minimum for 1 adult.
not if the turtle is older, its growth may have gotten stunted if it was kept in a 30 gallon tank without proper lighting.
so if its stunted it most likely wont get very much bigger
Bout 4 years old and 8 inches long. The tanks is so overstocked that I have to clean it every other day. When i do clean it I do 50-80 percent water changes.
i have herd with fish that they die when they get stunted. he is already WAY to big for the tank. he is nearly full size. 8 inches is pretty big. What about 75 gallons with over filtration. I will also do lots of water changes.
