Answers:
Fish flakes are OK for tonight.
Tomorrow, go to the pet store and get turtle food. There are special kinds, get one for omnivores. RES eat both meat and vegetables.
At the grocery store, get Romaine lettuce, squash, zuchini. Cut it up small and put it on a rock out of the water.
Feed him twice a day, but only leave the food in for about 30 minutes. Leaving it will cause bacteria and bugs which can kill baby turtles.
PLEASE do research before you get a pet from now on.
It's not going to be a very good diet for them and won't sustain them for long. Head to a pet store and buy some turtle food. (it will be with all the other reptile stuff usually). Since it's a baby, you might have to break the pellets into smaller pieces so they can eat them well but they shouldn't have much of a problem.
you could. but they would rather have turtle food. go to your local pet store and explain to them that you have turtles. also, turtles really like fish. it's a bit expensive but sometimes we buy some sushi fish like tuna and we feed it to them. since they're babies, you'll have to cut it extra small.
If they are babies about the size of a half dollar, freeze dried blood worms make a GREAT starter food. If they are bigger, Tetramin floating stick for turtles can be broken into the right sized pieces. The flake food just won't sustain them and it will make the water dirty quicker.
i have been feeding my turtles with fish food, and they got used to it and they're okay.
when i had my turtle, he would eat fish flakes. a varied diet is very good, but only fish flakes will not fulfill his needs!! guppies, turtle pellets, vegetables, are all good, and i guess feed him fish flakes occasionally, just for a varied diet. my turtle liked them
feed it regular turtle food it will eat it i have a red ear slider that is under an inch long that eats live feeder fish on top of his regular turtle food
they can but theyll probably get sick

No. Not enough substance. Try moist cat food. Meat or fish flavor. Just small amounts. Do not overfeed.
No it is for goldfish common sense would be to buy food for turtles if you feed it goldfish flakes it would cloud the water and also it doesn't have calcium. Also try feeding it mealworms, feeder guppies, minnows, feeder fish carrots, you getg it a variety it shouldn't always be food stix. For food stix i would recommend Reptomin baby food stix since they're little here is a picture of what it should look like. http://www.pet-dog-cat-supply-store.com/... good luck =)
