I feed my goldfish and tropicals different food that is made for them. I
only feed my tropicals Nutra fin max.


if it's a good brand then yea
otherwise the goldy food will be too low in protien and prob taste crap
tetra's have a finer palete than goldfish.

I have checked the tetramin goldfish food...it is nearly as high in
protein as their tropical.




protien is different depending on the source tho
some almost 100% duckweed food are 50% protien!
which is different to a 50% protien aquaculture grow pellet thats mainly
fish meal.
That said I think the food would be great for both of them.
Every few days a block of brine shrimp or bloodworm would be a great treat.
and every week or so a feeding of shelled frozen green peas will keep the
goldfish regular
I also didn't mean before to keep goldys at 28 deg C!!!
they are of course coldwater fish
that said not many organisms that cause disease in goldys can live in 28 deg
water so in some ways it's good!
bit of a red herring to throw
aim for 25degC and all will be peaches
tetramin will be fine either one
