My RES get pellets as part of their meal. The thing is I just noticed that Raffy-P pellets and other fish pellets have the same ingredients and quantities in them... So, is there any difference if I feed with fish pellets insted of turtle pellets? The turtle ones are twice as much money where I live.

yes you can use the fish pellets. I use koi food for my turtles like aqua max or other brands and have been for years. Also most turtle farms use fish pellets and not turtle pellets, so save yourself some cash.

If you have the means then use koi or cichlid pellets as the main diet. I use these items as well as volume purchase of various turtle food. You can get krill or shrimp freeze dried. Also fruit occasionally but I recomend feeding fruit in seperate enclosure if possible as it clouds the water. Live prey occasoinally as a treat.
