I was at the petsmart the other day and noticed they put Orange slices
and pieces of Zuchini in all the Goldfish tanks. The Goldfish were going
nuts over these, is this adviseable?

Dunno about the orange, but they love Zuchini (Courgettes to us UK folk). I
tend to boil mine, cool it and then lead weigh it down.

Are Oranges slices good?

I have read that oranges are highly recommended, my fish never seemed
to care for them.

My goldfish absolutely love an orange slice stuck on theri veggie clip, in
fact they act like little sharks! Apparently the vitamin c brings out their
colours too.

when you say slice, is this the fruit or the peel/skin?

Does it have to be an orange? How about a tangerine?

I have fed mine mandarin oranges that I buy canned. They really love
them, but are canned products safe?
