repeat the question coherently please

If it's healthy & uninjured then release it where (or near to where) you found it. Red-eared Sliders, even babies, are perfectly capable of caring for themselves without human interferance.

My red eared slider lived in my basement. I would go and find her every day and feed her turtle pellets and lettuce in a sink full of water. She did just fine but the best thing to do would be to put it in a pond or a kiddies pool with water and rocks etc. So it would mimic their natural environment as much as possible.

According to the website below, the red-eared slider has a very specific habitat in which to live. If you try to keep it in an aquarium, it will surely die. Why don't you call your nearest zoo to find out how you can really help this poor animal.

You should consult a expert on how to care for a rehabilitate this animal it may need special care, also in some states certain turtles and other wildlife are illegal to own. It would be better off in the wild, or at the very least a shelter that knows how to care for it properly. I understand about getting attached but wild animals should be in the wild, especially when providing for the basic needs would be financially difficult as well.
