Because in nature might is right. You'd better separate them.

How many turtles do you have? What are their sizes? What size tank? A suitable tank will have 10 gallons of water for every inch of shell. If you have 3 turtles, and they each are 4 inches long, that means 120 gallons at this time. Even larger as they grow. If biting "like everyday" is occurring, you'll need to seperate them asap. The next bite could be very severe, possibly fatal. The safest way is 3 separate tanks, with their own lights heaters and filters. I see you only recently joined, have you looked over the main website? There is a lot of useful info. Also try searching the forums, you'll find a lot of questions you may have have already been answered, so you won't have to wait until someone responds to one of your posts.
