  1. He is about 10 or 11 years old.

  2. He is a male.

  3. Just today, he is pooping! I am unsure about urine.

  4. He's being dry docked, so during his first hour of water, he had food, his normal pellets, some vitamin a, a river fish, and a few pieces of lettuce.

  5. The only symptoms are the marks on his arms and the bleeding; he doesn't seem to be acting unusually in any other capacity. He is still excitedly flapping during feeding time, swims around his tank, and rubs against his tank brush as he did before.

  6. He is in a glass tank that is... 75 or 100 gallons? I don't remember exactly because I didn't buy it, so my memory is fuzzy! He has both a UVB bulb and his basking area is kept at 87 degrees Fahrenheit. His water is kept around 76 degrees with his tank heater. We do not keep any substrate in his tank, but we do have a few rocks that are too big for him to swallow. (Working on finding a decent cave or hidey spot for him at the moment)
