You mean the Bala shark(Balantiocheilus melanopterus)(sometimes called a Tri-colored shark)? These fish are very jumpy, and when startled, they can jump right out of the tank!! So, make sure you check around the tank real good. If you can't find it on the ground, then you can assume your turtle ate it. He should be fine, but keep an eye on him, and you may want to skip one, or two feedings, until it passes. Make sure there aren't any fish in his tank, that you don't want him to eat, because he most likely will.

This is a Bala shark...

P.S. It really isn't a shark, it just looks like one.

I agree with that N4784N R4613 says. Just skip some pellets for the time being.

Also, please don't bump your threads. Though we all enjoy helping, most of us aren't on here 24/7, so you most likely won't get a reply in 5, 10, or 15 minutes. I noticed you bumped your thread 3 times in 16 minutes. It's on the bottom as the page as well.
