the rosy red fish is the boy.
the fish will have dots
I wouldn't; rosy red minnows are usually full of parasites.
The male Rosy Barb has a black tip to his dorsal fin the female does not. In breeding condition the male is much more rosy than the female. Males are know to have dark areas under them. Plus they are much more pretty than females. Usually males look like females and females look like males.
to tell the difference between male and female rosy red minnows, look for vertical stripes and fleshy growths on the head. Females lack both.
There are fish that are a "rosy red" colour that are livebearers. There are both Platties and Swordtails that can have such colouring. But if you are referring to a fish that is called a "Rosy Red Barb" then these are egg layers.
Depends on what he looks like, or does. Maybe something that has to do with fire, orange, or if he's fast bolt, lightning.
The turtle will likely eat the rosy barbs if they are small enough.
If by "Rosy Red" you mean a Rosy Barb they can live for 4 years or so. If they are used as a 'feeder fish" their life span obviously would only last as long as they are not fed to something.

barb fish eat algae
The males are mostly a deep red while the females are a deep yellow. In overcrowded or dirty tanks where the fish become sick, the males lose their colour. Females are often the smaller of the pair and wider. Sometimes, one can see what looks like an ovipositor protruding from her vent. My female was a dull yellow when I got her but once she really got into breeding, she was then a rose color too, just not as strong as the male. She was very pretty too!
