Make sure it can get out of the water and bask in light that includes UVA and UVB rays. Feed it guppies - live ones. The calcium in their bones will help. You can check out supplements at the pet store but I've found a natural approach is better.
Drop tiny pieces of cuttle bone which can be found at local pet stores this adds calcium and progresses the growth of every bone in the body. Hardens the shell to but this can only work if their is a uvb light looking over it.
