Anybody here with RES feed their sliders meat? I occasionally feed them cooked chicken, just a small piece, 5 sen size, every 2 weeks to 3 weeks. Also vegs like carrots, etc. And their regular food is the pellets.

Or just feed them pellets?

They're both females (I think) after posting some photos of their nails and tails at a RES forum.

Hai I own a RES, just how much should it consume in one day?

Amount = size of the RES' head.
