I have some larger size comets in my tanks , for looks. And I think my turtle ate one. While I know they they might try to nipple on a fish that is bigger then them how many times will they eat it all up?

Hatchlings can easily eat comets. They might not be able to swallow it whole but they'll tear it apart and eat the whole thing.
