Feeding

A while ago I gave a friend some "Spirvlina" as a bit of a change for there
two Goldfish.. I suggested that they mix it in with there fish flakes,
They have two small gold fish in a Bowl, with a bit of gravel, and a plastic
plant,, Every week the fish get a 90% water change a they seem happy.
However once they started eating the "Spirvlina" Dramatic changes started
to happen, the fish stayed on the surface, gulping for air, and there heads
turned black ?? They where relegated back to there plain old Flakes and
things returned to normal.
I have been feeding "Spirvlina" to my Angles without any troubles..

Anyone got any ideas, or thoughts on what happened

Sounds more like ammonia spike to me! Goldfish shouldn't live in bowls -bowls
are cruel for
Goldies! Goldies need 10gallons each to thrive!

Bassett,

A number of shippers use Spirulina is to clean a fish out before it is
shipped. The fish probably experience a serious ammonia spike due to this
food being feed and the fish being evacuated.
