Goldfish are known to be voracious scavengers, so it’s no surprise when they nibble leftover food buried beneath the substrate. Unfortunately, this waste contributes to fouling water quality by creating hazardous levels of ammonia and nitrites – which in turn increase disease and toxicity risks in your environment.
Goldfish flake food should be fed sparingly because floating foods cause air intake and can result in swim bladder issues in fish.

Saki-Hikari Floating Goldfish Pellets
Saki-Hikari Floating Pellets are designed for professional use as an enriching diet that includes live beneficial microorganisms for color enhancing purposes and probiotic digestion benefits. Hikari-Germ is also present, aiding your pet’s enzymatic activity by increasing digestion efficiency.
This advanced diet features increased levels of Vitamin E and stabilized Vitamin C to further support your pet’s immune system health, as well as purified Astaxanthin (a carotenoid) and pure cultured spirulina to deepen red tones without impacting white areas of their diet.
Finally, this diet features an advanced mix of fish proteins, wheat germ and alfalfa for easy digestion, and spirulina and krill for vivid colors – an excellent option for goldfish, African cichlids and freshwater herbivores alike.
As the best way to prevent overfeeding and water quality issues, only feed your pet as much food as they can consume within minutes of receiving it. Otherwise, any remaining uneaten food will start degrading in their tank, ultimately polluting it with waste material.

Repashy Soilent Green
Goldfish pellets are an increasingly popular way to feed goldfish because they contain nutrients that promote vibrant coloring. Some types of goldfish, like Lionheads and Orandas, require specific formulations with balanced amounts of proteins, fatty acids, and minerals for optimal growth.
Before being fed to their goldfish, pellets must be soaked for at least 10 minutes in water to help dispel any air that might have become trapped within them and soften up any potential hard spots that might otherwise lead to constipation issues. Without this step being performed first, unsoaked pellets may expand within their digestive tract and cause constipation issues in some fish species.
Repashy Soilent Green is a water-resistant gel food designed to last 24 hours in water environments, made using spirulina algae as its key component. Ideal for plecos and African cichlids, but also suitable as daily nourishment for snails, bottom dwellers and herbivorous fish, it features various sources of algae and plant protein such as fish meal, krill meal, pea protein isolates flax seed protein isolates as well as rice proteins for maximum nutrition and performance.
Omega One Medium Sinking Goldfish Pellets
These sinking (and floating) pellets were specifically created for goldfish, making them the optimal choice for a small or ponded tank. Not only are they captivating to watch, but their high concentration of nutrients packs in an impressive punch compared to flakes; floating pellets tend to provide five to ten times more nourishment per mouthful while not scrubbing out and clogging your pond or aquarium as often.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, essential components for optimal development and health, are included as ingredients of this food. Offering them is vital in keeping goldfish happy and healthy for years. Furthermore, choosing the appropriate diet ensures your tank remains clean from debris that could otherwise contribute to illness and disease; you can do this by regularly cleaning with either a net or old toothbrush to remove fine sediment particles from its water surface.
