hi, my baby turtles are 1" to 1.5" length in shell,
whenever i feed them reptomin mini pellets they couldnt even eat 1 stick in one bite.
i'm wondering when is a good time for me to get them rosy red / other live food?

You can introduce live prey at any time. However, a young turt may lack hunting experience, and probably won't get all (or any) fish to start.
Just remember that anything high in protein (feeder fish, meal worms, shrimp, etc.) should be considered a treat, and only fed about once a month.

You can introduce them any time, even now. Just stick to the minnows, since goldfish are fatty

guppies are also a good choice for feeder fish... but again, since they are high in protiens, keep it to a couple a month,.
