Goldfish require high levels of protein for proper development and growth, so many commercial fish foods contain enough of this essential element to meet this need. When purchasing foods for your goldfish, check their Guaranteed Analysis Statement and Ingredient List before making your decision.
Flakes may work just fine for very young goldfish, but once they can fit a pellet in their mouths, pellets provide more nourishment and produce less waste, leading to cleaner waters and healthier fish.

Protein provides growth and energy while the addition of fatty acids from salmon helps your goldfish build immunity and absorb other nutrients more readily from its environment. Fats or lipids, also called “lipids”, are essential building blocks of all cells; as an energy source they must first be digested before being utilized by your goldfish.
