It would be better to give them shelled peas, even a slice of orange (skinned)

Why not have them fast for one day and get more food?

Boiled chopped spinach is great goldie food. They're pretty darn omnivorous so any blanched or shelled veggies are worth trying.

Sliced orange, cucumber/zuchini, peas (not a good staple food, but they'll help relieve constipation/bloating), or anything leafy and green (spinach, leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, etc.). Those are the one's I've heard suggested.

From the ones I've tried, I've found mine hates anything green. After, I tried watermelon and he ate that. Also, he'll accept carrots.

i give all my fish (except the chiclids) fresh bits of romaine lettuce hooked onto an all clear glass christmas ornament ( put it upside down so it floats and use the hook to attach the food) And all my fish even my pleco swim up and nibble on it. from my experiences goldfish will eat anything but it might not be very healthy for them lol.
