Other foods for goldfish

[scubadude]

I ran out of fish food and gave them cornflakes......Is this OK?

 

[Seleya]

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?

Wht Else can we feed them besides,Staple,Live etc i mean Wht natural Fresh Vegetables can we feed them ?

 

[Seleya]

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

 

[zoo minsi]

dunno about for gold fish but all my fish really like zuchinni (S/P?)

 

[CAPSLOCK]

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.

Mine love peas, garlic, bananas, spinach, zuchini...

I buy frozen organic and it is very easy to heat very lil in a dixie cup with 1/4" of water for like 10 seconds.
