This page describes different types of goldfish food and some natural alternatives as well as what to do at feeding time
- When feeding your goldfish, make sure that you watch them and after a few minutes, remove any food that is left over. It is extremely easy to overfeed goldfish as they will not stop eating if given the opportunity.
- My goldfish absolutely love the plant anacharis. I feed them very little every few days if I have some of this in their tank.
- I also recommend feeding them cut up steamed and peeled peas and small pieces of lettuce.
- My favorite everyday fish food for them is Pro Gold.
- Don't make the very easy mistake of buying too much food at one time. Unless you have a very large tank, you will not be able to go through all the food before it is no longer fresh.
- Before feeding them, especially with pellet type foods, put their food in a small cup of water outside their tank and allow it to soak for awhile. This removes any trapped air which can give some of them swimming issues.
