ju-king -- If the larger one is inclined to fight with the smaller one, you will have separate them. I am sorry, but that is the nature of the larger one. If you don't you will probably see the smaller one lose a tail then a foot, etc. Good Luck!!

It's likely that the larger one is eating all the food, so the little one isn't getting anything.

Like Mike said, it's best if you separate them. Right now they're little, but as they grow, they'll be able to do some serious damage to each other. Your turtles will be much happier on their own.
