Guest Ill karen Ill Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 great thread! some foods i've tried are: shelled peas, oranges (just put a slice on a food clip), boiled baby bok choy (just the very top green part), and frozen/boiled corn (i just take the kernal and squeeze out the pulp into the tank).

Regular Member oliver_black Posted October 10, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted October 10, 2007 frozen bloodworms, cocktail shrimp, homemade food, seafood flakes, Hikari lionhead pellets. I just figured they get more nutrients in a day then I get in a week! Speaking of (human) nutrients, would it be OK to feed the GF wheat germ? As you know, one can buy small boxes of it at the supermarket. I've noticed wheat germ is among the top components of some of the commercial brands of GF food. Although I've made a quick search,I can't find it being recommended here. Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member 2601angela Posted October 14, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted October 14, 2007 The food list goes on and on- They love cantaloupe, byrds eye natural no salt seweet corn, baked potato, and ripe bannana. Instead of the wheat germ - which does not have a lot oif fatty acids that fish use - get flaxseed - as a ground meal- It is high in fatty acids like omega3 - and seems to have some cancer/tumor inhibition properties - as well as keeps them regular.

Admin koko Posted December 5, 2007 Admin Share Posted December 5, 2007 Progold is good for them, if you live in the USA you can get it from goldfishconnection. Blood worms are really nutrition, so avoid them. If you give your goldfish Oranges I would highly suggest a water change, since they can make a mess in the tank. How big is your baby?

Regular Member cheekylemur Posted December 8, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 8, 2007 Things I find to be good: Mazuri gel (no corn, no wheat) foods Frozen bloodworms Oranges Pearl barley Garlic Unsalted peas Mustard greens Collard greens Sweet potato Silkworm pupae Brown rice I personally won't feed Spinach (has lots of good stuff, but also oxalic acid that inhibits calcium uptake) Tubifex worms (which are an intermediate host for a potentially fatal protozoan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted December 8, 2007 Admin Share Posted December 8, 2007 personally I wont give my goldfish "bloodworms" since they are mostly water, the better worm is the night crawler or earth worm, most LFS will order it for you. I buy a pound of them at a time for my goldfish since my 2 females are 7-8" long and can eat 5 worms at one bite. Plus these worms will help with the darker colors in the fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to wash them off, or what do you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted December 11, 2007 Admin Share Posted December 11, 2007 well I have a LFS that I order them from. Then I pick them out and place in a cup and rinse them off till all the dirt is off of them, then drop them in, I get the smaller worms so that my little ones can eat them.

Regular Member Dreamgoddess Posted December 11, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 11, 2007 You put them in still alive? Wow, I didn't know that! For some reason, I was thinking they had to be chopped up or something. Wasn't sure I could do that! LOL How often do you feed your gf worms?

Admin koko Posted December 11, 2007 Admin Share Posted December 11, 2007 once a week as a treat if I have some in the house. If you get the bigger worms then you might have to chop them, thats why I get the smaller ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
