I can't tell size on those three, but if they are living together, let's just guess that they are 4" each, they need 120 gallons right now. They will need 330 gallons when they are full grown (based on the photos, if they are over 4", it looks like you have two females and a male). That's just them. And you have 6 other turtles, so that's another 660 gallons ... And since you have a male in with those two females, it's like that there will be future aggression (esp. since the tank is too small) and the eggs from the females will be more frequent and likely viable. A female turtle can have like 20 eggs per clutch, and a clutch every month ... That's a ton of baby turtles.

You need to get this situation under control quickly. With 9 turtles, I would recommend considering a 1000 gallon outdoor tank, and you'll need to be on egg inspection daily. Indonesia isn't RES territory, so you shouldn't contribute to overpopulation by allowing the eggs to come to term or by allowing any turtles to escape into the wild.

Good thinking, James! Pick out one or two favorite turtles and give the rest to
friends or relatives who are willing to take care of them properly. You know
what's needed to care for RES now, you should spread the knowledge.

If you want, you can try to start a RES club at school ;)

Musa's shell doesn't look healthy, but overall they look fine :)
