Helper Arctic Mama Posted September 23, 2017 Helper Share Posted September 23, 2017 So my shellfish allergies are getting worse, and I'm allergic to most of the foods I'm feeding my goldfish. I can manage the Ken's earthworms still, but do we have any veggie foods that are well balanced and have no added fish or shrimp meal? Duckweed isn't an option in this rental, unfortunately. I'm game for kelp flakes and such but worry about them not being nutritionally complete for freshwater fish. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mjfromga Posted September 23, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted September 23, 2017 So sorry that your allergies are worsening. I don't think a diet devoid of fish meal can be truly complete for goldfish. Fish that exist on a diet of mostly algae would probably be okay. Funny the Earthworm sticks don't bother you. They're chock full of fish products. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helper Arctic Mama Posted September 24, 2017 Author Helper Share Posted September 24, 2017 I think it might be because they aren't powdery. I tried to feed Paradigm for the first time in three months, since my fish stuff arrived, and started reacting. I can have my kids feed certain foods too, but it can't cross contaminate the house too badly. So far the sticks pass muster but so did paradigm until recently. I do have zoomed spirulina flakes, but those have shrimp in them too. And it's getting to the point where I'm getting hives trying to drain their tank because of contact with the water (having broken down poop in it and thus shellfish contact). I'm not even sure we need a vegetarian diet for them. Just a food that has no shellfish products. I can't even touch cuttlebone 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
