Goldfish are easy to care for and don’t leave behind an unpleasant mess like many other pets do. Their eager eaters prefer food rich in nutrients to satisfy their nutritional needs.
Repashy Super Gold gel foods provide a comprehensive blend of krill, black soldier fly larvae, algae, egg, plant proteins, and fruits – in addition to providing 24/7 access to fibrous vegetables such as green peas and lettuce for daily feedings.

Flakes
Goldfish food flakes are an excellent option for keeping goldfish and koi fish healthy, vibrant, and colorful in freshwater aquariums. Packed with high proteins and omega fatty acids for good health, growth, and vivid coloring; plus their low heat processing preserves more natural nutrients ensuring greater results while producing less waste in the environment.
Feed your goldfish a varied diet that includes flakes, veggies and fruit to promote good health and encourage exercise. Flea and pellet food shouldn’t be used exclusively as sustenance for your goldfish though!
These foods lack fiber and may lead to future swim bladder issues for your goldfish. Furthermore, certain fish food flakes contain harmful bacteria known as Ichthyophthirius or Swim Bladder Disease, so only use it as an occasional source of nutrition for your goldfish.
Pellets
While very small goldfish may initially start out on flakes, as soon as their needs increase they must switch over to pellet food. Pellets offer many advantages over flakes such as less mess and longer lasting nutrition due to a lower surface-to-mass ratio – water-soluble vitamins (such as Vitamin C) don’t evaporate from its surface as quickly.
Pellets contain much higher-grade ingredients than generic fish meal, the ground up waste products of human fish processing for consumption found in most flakes and pellets. Instead, pellets are comprised of premium fish meals such as krill, whole menhaden and spirulina which provide far more health benefits to your goldfish than cheap alternatives which include guts, scales and bones as filler material. They also include natural color enhancers along with Tetra’s ProCare blend for supporting immune health for optimal health and vitality for optimal health and vitality for all-around health and vitality for your goldfish!
Live Food
Goldfish love live food, and most pet stores carry an assortment of live foods for them to feed upon, such as brine shrimp, daphnia and tubifex worms – these can then be combined with flake food and pellets for an all-encompassing diet.
Your fish is sure to appreciate a diet of fresh vegetables! Steaming squash, carrots, courgette and peas until soft will provide your goldfish with a tasty snack that is also nutritious and flavorful – add parsley and paprika for additional spice if you like! Just be mindful not to provide too large of portions as goldfish tend to develop bloat issues more easily than their aquatic peers.
Frozen or freeze-dried goldfish food provides another option to vary your goldfish’s diet, with many pet stores carrying it and providing its nutrition without risk of disease or bacterial contamination.
Frozen Food
Goldfish require plenty of fiber in their diet in order to ensure a healthy digestive system. A mixture of specialized goldfish flake and pellet foods should be supplemented with frozen brine shrimp and daphnia as well as chopped squash, carrots, courgettes, peas and spinach (finely chopped) from steaming. This will add variety and additional nutrition. Some foods even contain probiotics formulated specifically for fish; these have undergone years of testing to make sure they actually help. We have discovered an exceptional diet called Saki Hikari’s Fancy Goldfish diet with pure cultured Spirulina and Astaxanthin for immune support – one such probiotic product we found was Saki Hikari’s Fancy Goldfish diet which includes pure cultured Spirulina + Astaxanthin for immune support.
Ready mixed gel foods for goldfish may be a more economical choice than live foods and are designed specifically with their needs in mind. Check for products with low raw ash content (which reduces pollution in the water). Repashy has created an exceptional gel food known as Super Gold, made up of ingredients including krill, algae, black soldier fly larvae larvae worms squid seaweed egg. Plus it contains calcium to promote healthy bones as well as carotene for vibrant color enhancement.
