Sick turtle :(

[Sammy.d]

Hi guys,

I have 2 Eastern Long necked turtles and over the last month both have been behaving qyite strangely. They're usually swimming past trying to 'beg' for food and are generally active but as of late both have become more and more in-active. i have checked the temp. of the tank and it's been hovering aroung 26-28C and the water is changed regularly. One of the two, who is a bit more active than the other, has been eating but the other is not interested in the slightest. I'm becoming increasingly worried as we're all quite attached to these little guys who we've have since April. Any help or suggestions you guys can provide would be awesome!

Thanks for your help guys!!!!!
