I have 4 turtles in the same tank with 2 algae eaters and a flying fox. I need to feed the algae eaters and flying fox too..so yes I put fish food in the tank. The turtles munch on it all the time along with their regular diet. Mine think of it as part of their treat of the day!!! AND my turtles are very healthy...
It will not hurt the turtle. How old is the turtle. If it is a baby or young one you can't starve it until Tuesday.
Other suggestions would be...do you have any romaine lettuce around. That will work too... or try some dandelion leaves...

If it is a water turtle I don't see a problem with feeding it fish food. However if your talking about a land turtle such as a box turtle or something I would say no. Since they eat with your fish I would say they are water turtles. I don't see a problem with feeding a water turtle fish food. My brother use to feed our water turtle fish food, and he also fed it turtle food, however our turtle was in a fish tank by itself. I think it would be easier for the turtles to eat fish food then the fish eating turtle food. Fish can be very picky and turtles will pretty much eat anything that tastes good or don't eat them first.

Its fine. Look at the ingredients to determine same ingredients. Turtles eat fish, Some fish foods have fish meal in it. But as a turtles main diet they need more than fish food. They need more greens and fish or blood worms (frozen). Good luck. Just look at the ingredients and you can compare and contrast.

Your turtles can stay without food for a WEEK!! so you dont really need to feed it pellets, but you can try feeding veggies instead
fish food has almost the same things as a turtle pellets so its fine ! but doesnt mean they will eat it >< mines dont like it

Not sure. But I feed mine lean meat of all sorts. Hamburger, hot dogs, even sandwich meat. I also dig up garden worms for them. I've had them for 10 years. Good luck.
