Yes, seperate her into her own tank. She is probably stressed because she has to live with two males. Males will try to mate with her, and with two of them, this is probably a non stop issue. She is probably fighting back. Because of this alone I suggest seperating them. Also 3 sliders in the same tank need a HUGE tank and although I don't know what they are in, I assume it's not big enough. 10 gals of water per inch of turtle.

ive read up i wouldnt just clump them into a tiny tank

only one of the males is at breeding age, and shes still young so i dont think its breeding but i have plenty of extra tanks so ill set her up with one thank you
