Thinking about trying some different food...

[Jolly 24]

Ok. I am fasting the fish today to help P-body, but I have new food coming. I will try some green beans tomorrow morning to see if those help. Are canned ones that I cook in the microwave with tank water ok?

I ordered some Solient Green and some Saki-Hikari from Tastyworms today and will hopefully get it soon. Any thoughts on a good feeding schedule to introduce this to them?

(Right now, normal feeding schedule is one frozen cube every other night and peas/bloodworms every other day.)

I've honestly never used canned, but it should be ok as long as its human safe !

I usually feed my little one's three bite sized pieces of repashy three times a day. So far they've done very well on this schedule . Both of my fish were on medicated food before I started repashy but I switched them straight over as soon as the meds were finished. I didn't have any problems

Food arrived today! Yay! I think I might be more excited than the fish. They have been doing pretty well the past few days and love green beans. I do not love cutting them up into tiny pieces, but its worth it if it helps them. Any suggestions on starting to introduce the Saki-Hikari Fancy Goldfish food (purple bag)? I think I am going to start with that and maybe make some of the Repashy Solient Green tomorrow or the next day if I have time and start trying that. Do I need to soak the pellets in tank water before I put them in and if so, for how long? Thanks for all the suggestions. Keep them coming!

And just because they are too cute...here is a video of them saying hi.

Oh gosh, they've grown!

Yep! I can't wait until to get them a bigger tank!

Lol...sadly no. They are very active most of the day.

They love the Saki-Hikari (purple bag) food so far. We soak the pellets for 5 minutes and then give them a pinch a couple times a day. Haven't gotten to make the Solient Green yet, but looking forward to it.

I'm glad their so happy! Mine look lazy after that video lol!

I'm glad you like the pellet food so far . I would recommend maybe making the soilent green on a day where you could open a window... It has a very particular smell lol!

I keep seeing the smell mentioned. I think I'll wait for a warmer day, open all the windows, and make it when we can leave if need be. They love the Hikari and I've been putting peas and green beans in every now and then for veggies, so they are pretty happy. I can't wait to see what they will do in a bigger tank. They never stop moving.

It's really not at all bad
