we have 8 guppies and 52 ghost shrimp in her tank and so far she does not seem to want to eat them.

60 fish might be a bit overwhelming. try taking some out. she will start to eat them, though, they are just too stupid to avoid the turtles, eventually she will snap at one becuase it swims to close and looks tasty, just give it time.

52 is way too much especially if the turtle has a tank just the right size. You should take a large majority of them out, because the turtle might cease to pay too much attention to them and hence not consider them a food source.
