I fancy mosquito larvae as the best fish food. I used to be able to buy it at one LFS too. Trouble is, I don't like mosquitos.

Will turtles eat fish? And my pond do not have filter, it’s a small pond.

No, mosquito fish would be too small for the turtles to catch. It would be a waste of their energy to chase them. How big is your pond?

I do not measure, but I only put 120 gallons of water there

Don't stock mosquitofish if they're not legal in your area.
They were stocked where I am and are now a terrible invasive species.
