As with any pet, goldfish require high-quality food. Look for ingredients, vitamins and minerals which promote immunity health while simultaneously improving color enhancement and prolonging lifespan.
Goldfish are predatory animals and prefer sinking pellets over floating foods that encourage them to inhale air, potentially leading to swim bladder issues.
Xtreme Spirulina Flakes
Xtreme Aquatic Foods’ highly popular community flake food combines two of their top products to form this tasty fish food option for goldfish. Containing both spirulina and krill sourced in the United States with rigorous quality controls, these flakes contain plenty of protein-rich food. Best served crumbled or whole, feed several times each day at approximately the same time to achieve optimal results.
These pellets are an ideal addition to any pond or aquarium, including smaller tanks used by goldfish. Fish find these spherical pellets easy to consume and packed full of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that help strengthen immunity while also bringing out their brilliant colors.
These Florida-based ornamental tropical fish farms specialize in ornamental tropical fish farming, producing food with aquatic proteins from Krill and blue-green algae such as Spirulina to promote your goldfish’s overall health and vitality. Plus, each food item comes enriched with essential vitamins and minerals for additional benefits!
Frozen foods contain up to 75 percent water, making them an excellent way for target feeding and washing purposes as opposed to broadcast feeding which can quickly lead to an excess of nutrients in your tank or pond. Furthermore, frozen food was specifically designed to promote optimal development among grazers; multiple small feedings each day will ensure their development.
Hikari Algae Wafers
Algae wafers make an excellent treat for goldfish, but should not serve as their sole food source. Goldfish need more protein than algae wafers can provide, making dietary variety important for their wellbeing. But if your goldfish is taking nibbles of algae wafers from other fish in their tank, don’t stop them! It’s fine to allow this behavior!
Hikari created these soft wafers specifically to appeal to plecostomus and other algae-eating bottom feeders, and these soft wafers quickly settle to an aquarium’s substrate. Their unique disc shape makes it easier for herbivorous fish to consume them, and can even be broken up and fed separately to other herbivorous ones. Packed full of stabilized Vitamin C for stress reduction and immunity building as well as various plant matter and algae species for added nutrients in each bite, Hikari goldfish wafers will offer them more nutrition than ever before!
These algae wafers come packaged in re-sealable plastic bags and make an excellent supplement to a goldfish’s diet. Beware of overfeeding them, though; too much will cloud up the water and stress them out; instead give only what your goldfish will consume within two hours. Also keep an eye out as these wafers contain copper sulfate which could kill plants!
Omega One Medium Sinking Goldfish Pellets
Goldfish are grazers and must eat regularly to thrive. Flakes and floating granule food work well as surface feeders; while pellets sink and can be enjoyed by mid-water feeders as well as bottom feeders.
