Hello, i am new to turtle ownership so I am sure this is a dumb question, but I will ask it anyway. I am pretty sure that my turtle is a slider, all turtles swim really well right? One time the turtle, my daughter name him Steve, just sat at the bottom of the water and did not come out of his shell. Thanks,
