I have a 125 gallon tank, completely set up properly for turtle care. They have a healthy diet consisting of fish, plants, feeding pellets and supplements. I have one Red Eared Slider and two painteds. I have had all three the same amount of time, since they were all hatchlings.

Do Red Eared Sliders grow faster than painteds? The RES has nearly doubled in size compared to the other two. They do not fight over food, and they all have food available to them. They all seem healthy and normal.

Any input would be appreciated!
 
They probably are healthy and normal and you shouldn't worry too much. Sometimes, some turtles just grow faster than others, like humans. It is just the nature of things.
