you could try, but odds are that your tiny turtle won't be fast enough to catch them and his mouth isnt big enough (that's just odds though) not impossible.

raphael owned the first rosies i put in his tank...it was amazing haha.

if anything you could just hold them and he can eat them, that is if he doesnt catch them and the fish become new pets

If rosies are a bit to fast for your turtle try feeder guppies they are a lot slower

ALSO. if they seem fast, ive heard that if you put them in really cold water for a while, then transfer them to the tank, then the fish slow down significantly
