Hi
Just wondering. When talking about swimbladder disorder, Dr Solo said
that RE:foods to feed to affected goldfish, feed it sinking foods,etc
....... or other foods that sink such as "grapenuts, rice or oatmeal".
About the rice, is it boiled/cooked rice? And could foods like the
ones mentioned above be a staple for goldfish instead of dried
flaked/pellet/etc foods?

I mean FISH foods that sink. you can give 1 or 2 cooked grains of rice after feeding
a flake of food to the fish to help digestion. all those carbohydrates you mention
are not digestible for fish. fish eat high protein little critters that hang out in
the algae. feed fish food, not land based food.
