Goldfish Food

I know that this simple question is very, very important, “What should I feed my Goldfish?” I also know that very few people think about it. Why not just pick the cheapest fish flakes off the shelf in the pet store? The answer is, because fish deserve better – they’re beings too! They need nutrients to live a healthy, active life which I think every pet owner should care about. If you haven’t read any of my previous posts, than you don’t know that my oldest goldfish, Pop, will be 5 years old in October this year, 2015!  The reason that he is still alive is simply because me and my family do the research and take care of our fishy friends properly. I believe that everyone should too.

Now onto the actual food. I don’t spend all my money on gourmet fish foods, but that doesn’t mean I don’t try to find high quality fish food. The two types of regular fish food that I use is first, Wardley Advanced Nutrition  – Perfect Protein Flake Food and Aqueon Goldfish Granules, both of which I would recommend to my readers because they have great nutrients in both.  I feed the food to my fish once everyday. I only feed them a whole pinch or two, but I would also do some other research on the amount as well. Make sure to give your Goldfish variety and try out different foods on them to see what they like as well. I can’t recommend any other brands because all Goldfish are different, and sometimes flakes work better than pellets or pellets work better than flakes. However, other foods such as shrimp, blood-worms and other freeze – dried foods should also be available.
