What are the water temperatures? Do you have a submersible water heater? They need to be around 78-80F. Are they eating?

[cstan]

yes the big one is eatting not the little ones and no i dnt have a water heater yet he just be trying to go under the filter and acting crazy

You should keep them separate, the very least during feeding. If you suspect them being sick, up the water temp to 82F.

You're also going to need a lot more space with 3 turtles.
