Yeah, they aren't gonna live long in that container. They need a much bigger space with filtered water and a heat source to bask under. Reason for the algae on the shell is poor water conditions. Make sure you treat water with conditioner before using.

This... also need a place to get out of the water... I used large, smooth rocks and placed them under a desk lamp for them to "sun"

Inside the tank I had more large rocks and made a "cave" for them to hide/shelter

I used a 35 gallon aquarium with a gravel bottom and plastic plants for additional cover
