You should put enough pellets in there to fill all three of there heads (if they where empty and not including neck).

RES are excellent beggers, so don't feed them everytime they come to the edge of the tank. That would be like your mom feeding you everytime you walked through the kitchen. Overfeeding has it's own set of consequences. If you want, you can throw veggies in there in place of more pellets. It's healthier and they need the greens anyway.

If you put 3 heads worth of pellets into the tank, make sure each turtle only gets to eat one head's worth.
