Hi i had my turtles for about 1 and a half weeks now and now im cleaning the tank and its filled with those rocks that you use for fish tanks so do i use them or take them out? because they might eat them and also they need more room to swim

You should take them out. The turtles will eat them and the rocks will get stuck in their insides and possibly even kill them. Also, the more room they have to swim around - the better.
So.....you were right on target!

yeah those little pebble things are bad news. if i were u i'd go down to the local body of water and pick up a few large rocks for the little guys to hide behind. do urself a favor and soak em in a diluted vinegar water solution for a little while and leave em out in the sun to dry so u clean off the muck that they'll pick up in the wild.
