Goldfish are natural foragers; they spend their days exploring pond and aquarium surfaces in search of food sources. As a result, multiple small feedings of flake food or sinking pellets must be provided daily in order to meet their nutritional requirements.
Northfin community formula for goldfish provides an organic kelp and whole Antarctic krill meal base, combined with high DHA Omega-3 herring oil content and other beneficial supplements such as garlic and calcium montmorillonite clay, designed specifically to support health in their diets.

Organic Kelp
Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum), belonging to the Fucaceae family, is a deep green, cold-water seaweed found worldwide and particularly prevalent in Iceland, Hawaii, Canada and northwest United States waters. A natural source of minerals and vitamins including iodine, it pairs perfectly with soups, salad dressings or can be used as an alternative for salt.
Viridian Certified Organic Kelp is an eco-friendly resource harvested from the mineral-rich waters off Ireland and Northern Iceland using environmentally responsible methods. Free from contaminants, toxic metals and pathogens and processed using geothermal low temperature drying to preserve nutrients, it offers sustainable nutrition to consumers.
NorthFin’s goldfish formula uses this kelp to increase both health and appearance while simultaneously increasing color saturation. Formulated without fillers or hormones and designed to promote easy digestion, this supplement features natural Spirulina that’s packed full of proteins and minerals for added benefit.
Spirulina
Spirulina is a multicellular, blue-green microalgae with symbiotic bacteria that fix nitrogen from the air, commonly found in manmade or natural lakes and harvested and freeze-dried. Packed full of raw protein, beta-carotene, minerals, and essential fatty acids like gamma linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid), Spirulina offers healthful nutritional value when consumed regularly.
Research suggests that turmeric offers many health advantages, including lowering cholesterol levels, stabilizing blood sugar, managing allergies and encouraging weight loss. Furthermore, its antioxidant content could potentially help decrease heart disease and cancer risks.
Northfin’s goldfish formula is composed of all-natural ingredients, such as organic kelp, whole arctic krill meal and herring meal as well as garlic, calcium montmorillonite clay and calcium montmorillonite clay. Slow sinking pellets help prevent goldfish from inhaling air while eating and promote proper digestion while helping avoid overinflation and swim bladder disorders. Furthermore, this recipe boasts raw proteins, vitamins and minerals as well as omega-3 fatty acids from sardine and herring meals along with no artificial preservatives!
Garlic
Goldfish are opportunistic feeders that enjoy snacking on bits of algae, pellets, bugs, plants and whatever else they can find to fill their mouths. Unfortunately, many products designed specifically for tropical fish may cause issues with swim bladders, constipation or even disease in these sensitive aquatic creatures.
Fancy goldfish should be fed a natural high protein diet such as daphnia, earthworms and bloodworms to provide easy digestion and the protein they require for health. These diets can easily meet this goal!
Professional goldfish breeders love this formula as it contains plenty of marine-based proteins without corn, wheat or soy products. Plus, this delicious organic, natural and gluten free formula includes garlic and potato leaves to improve color enhancement, kelp meal for improved nutrition and calcium montmorillonite clay to prevent cloudy water. All the ingredients used are organic, natural and gluten free! It comes in 1mm pellet size pellet form to enhance health in goldfish while providing essential vitamins, minerals, nutrients and amino acids essential for good health.
Calcium Montmorillonite Clay
Koi fish live in mud, providing a source of micronutrients and minerals. Calcium montmorillonite clay can also help clean pond water by binding to positively charged contaminants like positively charged toxins – it has a negative electric charge and therefore attracts positively charged substances in its form of positive charge toxins in its vicinity.
Clay has long been used as an aflatoxin binder in animal feed. Scientists from Arizona State University conducted a small-scale animal study that demonstrated how bentonite clay could reduce aflatoxins levels in dairy cows. Furthermore, this indicates that montmorillonite clay’s cations may play an integral part in mitigating mycotoxin contamination in food and feed sources.
Montmorillonite is an ore composed of hydrated sodium or calcium silicate hydroxide with magnesium, aluminium, potassium, iron and other cations such as aluminium. It often occurs intermixed with chlorite, muscovite illite and cookeite geological formations and its low surface tension allows it to expand in contact with water; hence its importance as part of drilling mud for keeping bits cool while preventing leakage of oil.
