Turtle diets and eating habits discussed here.

This might sound cold... but I have a couple of Mollies I no longer want. They are mean fin nippers and chase my other fish. I want to throw them in w/ Pickle. They are a little bigger than bite size, but I think she can handle them. I figure they probably aren't much different nutritionally than Guppies, since they are both livebearers, but I just wanted to make sure its OK for her.

Mollies are okay as feeder fish...and you're right they aren't much different than Guppies.

I'm so glad I wandered into this post. I have 2 mollies that won't stop breeding. It's good to know that Mikey has a constant meal :)
