Carole, The turtle did not get the fungus from staying in the water, he developed it because of dirty water. As for the shell haze, I have own several hatchlings that don’t bask all the time and they were find. How long have you had your hatchlings for? They might still be getting confortable. They should start basking soon. I have seen this shell haze happen to three different terrapins two of which were adult and now one juvenile. I know not basking has something to do with it, but there might be other factors. Now that he is basking again the haze has not spread, and that was over three months ago. Jonathan Scute Mod
