Regular Member Isa17 Posted November 17, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 17, 2014 No wen will grow unless she has the genes for it. Oranda and Goldfish gold both float, to my knowledge, and therefore are not much good to fancy goldfish. Sinking pellets are the way to go. Yes they do, I have both and had to change to sinking ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Fish Of Gold Posted November 17, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 17, 2014 Omega One pellets and I'm thinking of trying the Thera A pellets next month. I also feed peas, Frozen Blood worms and occasionally frozen Brine Shrimp. I feed them cucumber or zucchini every weekend right after their weekly water changes as a treat. I just mixed up a little batch of Repashy's Soilent Green today for the 1st time, I'll try it out tomorrow to see how they like it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No exception for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted November 18, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 18, 2014 Maybe wait until she is a little bigger. The NLS 1mm would be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay that's perfect because I have nls 1mm so I will feed her that along with her non pellet things until she is bigger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Dalya-and-her-Goldies Posted November 19, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2014 I have a question: Is Hikari lionhead only good for fancies or for single tails too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Mernany Posted November 19, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2014 I feed Hikari Lionhead and New Life Spectrum Others+A 1mm size. I want to get the NLS algae max pellets some time just to mix it up and get more algae in their diet. I do supplement their diet with frozen blood worms, frozen brine shrimp, repashy super green and solient green mixed together, and seaweed/veggies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted November 19, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2014 I have a question: Is Hikari lionhead only good for fancies or for single tails too? It's good for all types of Goldfish. The pellets are just a little bigger than the 1mm size, so maybe not ideal for babies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
