Other than store purchased foods, what other foods can be fed to goldfish?
From what I've researched on the web I've heard of the following: * peas (tried this and the fish love it) * carrots (tried this also and the fish won't touch it) * lettuce (tried and the fish didn't touch it) * broccoli * eggs * spinach * any fresh green vegetable * worms (preferably from a live bait shop - they would be cleaner) * coctail shrimp What about food like lunch meat, cooked chicken, or tuna? Thanks, E.Otter |

You can grown mosquito larvae (don't let them hatch) and tadpoles (which have taken over my FULLY chlorinated pool...weclome to Florida) for meaty treats. Deanna |

My goldfish really enjoy mosquito larvae. I catch them live when I can
and buy frozen ones out of season. They also really like eating plants so I give them duckweed and hornwort to snack on. I think some kinds of tadpoles are poisonous, or at least nasty tasting. My gfoldfish didn't like American toad tadpoles. They would eat them and then spit them out again. Judy |

eat them and then spit them out again. My tadpoles are tree frogs, not the bullfrogs or toads. They love the tree frogs...or maybe they're way underfed. Either way, they eat them! Deanna |
