Goldfish, like their koi carp counterparts, are natural omnivores and feed on aquatic plants, algae, tadpoles and small insects. A balanced diet should include various vitamins and minerals – particularly Vitamin C for healthy scales, eyesight, digestion and growth.
For warm temperatures, choose a feed with high proteins, healthy fats and an array of essential vitamins and minerals. When water temperatures drop further, switch to cold weather feed such as wheatgerm for cold weather situations.
