Thanks. I've decided to call him Morla.

Aww, Morla is so adorable!

Isn't Morla the name of the tortoise in The Never Ending Story? If so, the name is very fitting! It's so itty bitty and cute! What's his story?

Yes, that's the reason I named him that. Here is his backstory:

I replied to the other thread you made with info.

From the carapace shot it looks like it might be a male.. but it was blurry & since it is young the vent can easily shift & change the suspected sex.

Fill in the gaps where the big rocks met with the side of the container. He can easily fall in there & drown.

the water looks shallow. is he having problems swimming? it should be deeper. He should be in a 10-20gal long tank that is about 50% full with a spot to get out. If he is out of the water all of the time or a lot he might be sick. Snappers don't need to bask & it's rare they do. Younger ones do it more often, but even then, they stick to the water.
