Default Turtles in water

My turtles eat the fish food, my goldfish eat the turtle food. I toss in
a mix of the two commerical foods and add extras. My RES love sweet
potatoes, romaine lettuce, and apple slices. The fish love oranges. I
stick a sweet potato in my waterfall & veggie filters and they grow
lovely vines over the summer which the turtles also chow down on when it
hits their part of the pond. Everyone seems to be doing okay after three
years.

In my pond I have along with my goldfish and Koi two red eared sliders that
were given to me after someone left them in a pond and moved out.
I bought specialised turtle food, but they ignore it and eat the same food
as I feed my fish.
IS this a problem or will they be ok? They seem fine and have been active
recently.
Thanks
