The golden coin turtle is omnivorous, preying in nature on aquatic animals like snails, fish, shrimp, and tadpoles, plus young frogs, earthworms, snails, and fly maggots, occasionally plant shoots.
In captivity, feed specialized turtle pellets with animal foods like small fish, shrimp, tadpoles, earthworms, shellfish, lean meat, and offal, plus vegetables like carrot, lettuce, and pumpkin.
