MahZi 0 Posted October 15, 2012 Hi friends I read that fish needs protein in their diet and it helps them to grow faster and get roundier I can't and don't want to feed them dry food, I can't find good ready food here and because of my situation I can't grow worm or hatch shrimp either I prefer veggie protein but they say fish can't digest them, for example beans is there any other veggies with good amount of protein in it? or fish can't digest veggie protein at all? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted October 15, 2012 Goldfish are omnivores, which means that they eat and digest both plant and animal matters. I don't think that any goldfish kept in aquariums will have a diet in keeping with what their digestive systems are built to eat. Having said that, I do think that it's best to try to have a mix of both animal and plant based food for the fish. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
