A goldfish tank isn't a good place for them. They need to able to get completely out of the water. They also need to have a tank with the water warmer than the goldfish would like, and they should have a UVB light, otherwise their shells won't become hard.

Here are a few good websites to find the information on how to care for them properly: http://www.redearslider.com/

And Bonsylar's right - you shouldn't get an animal unless you know how to take care of it first.

Always find out all you can about an animal BEFORE you bring it home.

A ten gallon tank is already too small for 3 turtles. Even the tiny ones you have, plus the fish, it's too much poop and other waste. A filter helps, but they need more space.

After that, you need to read up on the little guys. There are all kinds of care sheets on the internet. Just type Red Eared Slider into Yahoo Search.

Please! There is too much you need to know about them to type here.
