turtle not eating

Her activity has slowed down a touch i wouldnt think enough to warrant this much of a loss in appetite, she still gets up on her rock to sunbathe when its sunny. Her normal meals where either some chopped bits of frozen fish or a whole prawn. and before that (about 8 months ago now) she was eating some freezedried turtle product. ive even brought her some turtle sticks to try that but she just lets them go to waste. i even leave the food in there for a few hours to make shure its not just a shyness issue.

Im not too shure what to look for with an ill turtle except a soft shell and any of the normal cuts lumps and cloudy/closed eyes.

maybe her tank has something to do with it as shes only in a 2 ft which is a bit small for her (140mm shell) with a pile of large rocks at one end for her to climb onto, just a fluro tube and the window for lighting. the temps about 26 and the lid is only covered with the larger pice of glass for a standard 2ft lid.
