Answer 2

"put him in a separate tank and see if he is alive"

hey, excellent idea.

Answer 3

Segregate it immediately. Tempt its appetite with something like live earthworms or strips of liver dusted in bone meal. Raise the temperature a couple of degrees. If the turtle doesn't improve, try to find a vet who knows one end of a turtle from the other. These vets are rare but they do exist.

Answer 4

what size tank?

too many turtles in one tank..

Did you know that they need to bask under a reptile light for  8 to 10 hrs a day for the vitamin D that  they need to grow.

Leave the heater on 75 to 78 degrees always.

Their water needs to be clean otherwise they get sick easily from dirty water cause they p**p allot.

You need a good filter system!

You need to feed them feeder guppies, goldfish or minnows for protein and calcium daily.

They need leafy greens for vitamins at least 3 to 4 times a week.

And a big tank 55 gallons or more..

Yes take him out and put in a bowl with some warm water and cover with a towel...and leave him alone for awhile.

Its sounds like its too late,
