Default A mistake

I placed murtle in a seperate holding tank so i could feed her some sprats as i find these fish very very oily.....i decided whilst murtle was in the other tank i would give her big tank a good clean out....After murtle had eaten my sister in law took murtle through to the living room and whislt doing that i tipped the oily water out the little holding tank and put really cold water in it....I had swirled it out a few times then emptyied it....I filled it back up with really cold water again with the intention of cleaning it......I wondered through to the bedroom to check the water temp of the newly cleaned big tank and my sister in law accidently put murtle in the holding tank with the really cold water....When i went through she was all limp with her eyes closed (Murtle that is not my sister in law lol ) i honestly thought she was dead......She wasn't and she seems perfectly fine now back in the big tank.....Do you think this will have any lasting damage to my wee murtle?.....


Sorry its a bit long winded...But thats what happened.

Shocked the poor thing..keep her water and basking temps at optimum..and watch out for any sign of discharge from nose and eyes or chirping(sneezing)...but she should be grand
