    Yes, I would recommend switching from flakes to a good quality pellet or gel food.

    Like humans, goldies do best on a mixed diet. So rotating pellets, gel food, bloodworms, and the ocassional veggie treat is a great way to go.
    Nori seaweed (the stuff they wrap sushi in) is loved by a lot of fish too.

    Both of my goldies love their vegetables so much they have figured out how to bang on their DIY veggie clip (so it just clicks against the tank) I've gotten to the point where I'm offering small amounts of leafy greens almost every day. I've found them to be so much more active and generally in good goldfish spirits.

    I just bought an Oranda, Black Moor and a Pearlscale goldfish. They are only about an inch long each so I guess they are still babies. The Saki-Hikari is the food I chose for them and after seeing this I am glad I shelled out the extra $. I want them to grow up to be healthy and gorgeous like yours so these videos are very helpful.

    I have 2 Shubunkins and I switched them off flake food because my fish were gulping air and one of them was listing to the side. feeding pellets for a week or two fixed it. gulping air can still affect comet bodied fish too.

  • @emilypeel6802
    @emilypeel6802 10 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I feed my fish flakes. Like all floating food it sinks eventually but I remove it before that happens. So basically my fish have to go to the surface to eat. I have done this for a year with these gold fish and nothing bad has happened. But now I am worried, should I change to sinking food or will they be okay?
    Also they used to be in an unfiltered tank. And now they are in a filtered tank. They seem to be floating every now and again. But then they are fine again after the filter is turned off. I really want to keep the filter in there but I think it's the problem. What do you think I should do?

    • @BradfordAquatics
      @BradfordAquatics 10 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      I think that you should switch to sinking food.
      I doubt the filter is causing the fish to float.

    Thanks to a friend I've got three different kinds of food pellets. New Life Spectrum, the Purple Hikari, and Omega One veggie. So I just alternate between them, along with a daily cube of gel food, and blood worms or veggies about 2-3 times a week.
    Just be sure that whatever you feed is a sinking food, anfd that you only feed as much as they'll polish off in a couple of minutes.

    A question. I have 2 goldfish blackmoor and fantail. They both have flakes but 1 of them doesnt gulps at the surface. Well, i havent seen her do it, unless she does when Im asleep. She would swim around cleaning ornaments 3/4 of the time. But the blackmoor. When I rehomed him he was constantly gulping at the surface. He has stopped a bit but still gulps at the surface. How can I try to reduce his gulping? He has redused since I have been feeding him peas. Have you had this problem before?

    • @dannybravo6005
      @dannybravo6005 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      yes definitely get aquarium sand.
      the ancestor of the goldfish, naturally scavenges for food at the bottom, they sift through the sand,
      they do swallow sand, but it is natural, because they are designed to sift through the sand looking for bits of food, this is hard to do, safely, with gravel.

    Can you feed goldfish corn or cornmeal in a gel mix with other stuff? Wild Carp love corn but I am not finding any homemade goldfish food using corn or cornmeal. I was thinking cornmeal mixed with dried brine shrimp and some greens. Add gelatin with some water and you have a quick and easy homemade fish food. All parts except the gelatin can be grown at home.

    Hi, I just bought 2 comet goldfish 5 days ago and I've been feeding them fish pellets only since I didn't knew bout the other things and the place where I bought them from said that I could feed them fish pellets only and it would be fine too and they would still be healthy, but I want to make sure if that's okay? Also the Saki pellets brand that you recommend, would that be okay to feed comet goldfish and koi fish too or some other brand would be better? And I saw a video on TH-cam bout this guy telling how feeding goldfish with peas would help them with constipation and feeding them at least once a week would also help prevent them from being constipated but which veggie would you recommend that would the best to feed them? I know you talk a bit bout it in this video but I wanted to ask to make sure since I know every fish has a diff diet routine. Btw my comet goldfish aren't very big yet, as for my other 2 goldfish since I got it from a friend I'm not sure what type goldfish it is

    I love your VDO Jennie.
    I have joined the goldfish club and all the members there suggested to me that they fed their fish steamed eggs or egg tofu. It is to get their goldfish larger and fat and can sell for good price. I have tried it and my fish love it. Only problem is the water need changing very often. Anyone reading this can try it. What I have done is put egg in a little bowl... add a bit of water and beat it. then wrap the bowl with clingwrap...then 40 seconds in microwave. Then you got your fish food. 1 egg is way enough. Have fun creating your fish food.

    Hey i bought saki-hikari off the back of your vid and my 5 fish love them but u got to soak em ...i also feed them frozen blood worm and frozen brine shrimp from time to time. flake food works if u soak them in a cup of tank water and then pour in all around the tank they sink..yeah never surface feed! plus my fish get sunlight all day so they have lots of algae to eat and peck at that all day ;0) so i feed them once a day sometimes twice but i split the portion if i do... overfeeding is a major cause of goldfish and fancies death. Fishes stomachs are very very small as in sure you know
    Anyway i recently discovered your channel keep up the good work !

    Also my homemade gel food ingredients consist of:
    - 1 Gerber's baby food (green peas)
    - 2 packs of Knox unflavored gelatin (then added boiling water and mix)
    - About 1/4 cup of red bell pepper, cucumber, and bussel sprout
    - 8 pieces of tiny/small dried shrimp
    - 1 tsp of shrimp pellets (for more "flavoring")
    - Little less than half of fresh garlic
    I blended these in a blender and pour in tray. Then refrigerate.
    Is my ingredients bad??? It's my first time making gel food.

    I feed flaked but with my filter flowing water into the tank, the flakes get under the flow and it pushes all the flakes to the bottom. So usually my fish grab the flakes in the middle of the water and nibble off the bottom all day.

    Hi Solid Gold! I don’t expect you to answer this but anyone who knows more about Goldfish than me please help!
    I just got my Black Moor, Nerbert, and I would like some help. So far he is basically 3” from head to tail. He is in a 10 gallon tank right now.
    The guy at Pet Smart said that he is going to need a 30 gal when he gets older, but then I go and read articles and I either get 10 gal minimum or another said 10 gal for a whole adult!
    I have a great filter on it, which actually produces a lot of bubbles since the water has a longer way to fall. He loves trying to swim up it and is very active so far. I do feed flakes but like a few others I feed it right by the filter so that it sinks. I have basically never seen him feed off the top, just scavenging or catching it as it floats down. I have a small heater in there that keeps it around 72F, and I feed him once at night and once in the morning. I’ve watched your growth video as well, so here are my questions.
    1. How big do you think he will get?
    2. Should I feed less or more?
    3. Will he need a bigger tank?
    4. Do you think he will need a bubbler?
    5. Anything else you notice from my description that you want to tip me off about?

      That isn't that old for a goldfish, I knew someone who Kept a goldfish in a bow and it had a sad miserable existence for almost 5 years. its growth was stunted and it was unhealthy but survived.
      If properly taken care of they can live upwards of 20+ years (record being around 50! i believe) and turn out as large 8 to 12 inches depending on species and be healthy and magnificent creatures!

      @Gee-xb7rt 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Katie A Katie, I feed mine, i have 3, every other day because it reduces the need to clean and the water stays a lot cleaner. I think what you are doing is most important, the bigger the tank the less you have to worry with it. Tanks don't clean themselves, but the more space you have the better you can build a mini-ecosystem that is less dependent on you fussing with it. People always have 1000 rules and I live to break them. Mine live with harlequin rasboras and cherry barbs, something everyone will tell you not to do, but they get along fine, and the rasboras and barbs are fine as long as the temp is over 60.

    She doesn't like flake food because honestly this person seems to be a hipster. She seems to stay away from commonly used items simply because the fact because they're commonly used items. She basically said it herself that she thinks the basic majority think flake food is good for goldfish. Flake for doesn't float, you simply have to push it in to the water for a few seconds, same with pellet food that don't sink. It's also designed to not dissolve in water. I literally went into this video thinking, "she's not going to like flake food because the basic majority use it and make up some shit to prove her point." and the exact thing happened because it's a trend in most of her videos. I'm not trying to jack off flake food, I myself prefer pellets and a variety of vegetables.
