I had a tiny red-eared slider and he actually grew fairly fast. I wished mine would have stayed small, but not at the expense of his health of course. Like @Fishbone said, the first thing to do is to identify what kind of water turtle you have. If you have a red-eared slider, you definitely need a sun lamp for him and a place for him to climb out of the water sometimes. They LOVE to sit and bask in the sun, they close their eyes and stretch their legs out, it's so cute! Be sure to research the proper distance too, you don't want the sun lamp too close. I would also read up to make sure you're feeding him enough, if I recall mine always had a voracious appetite. Best of luck in your turtle endeavors!
