What do GOLDFISH eat? | What I feed my fish | GOLDFISH FOODS

[@felixtheophilus790]

What amazing videos! 🎉 I feed my goldfish 12 times a day with a very small amount of pellets, spend 3 hours feeding them steamed egg, and provide tubifex worms throughout the night.

[@AquaticElements]

Awesome! That sounds great!

[@jonisolis9645]

My goldfish get live duckweed daily. For treats I gave them earthworms, slugs (the small ones), mealworms, and smooth caterpillars, and steamed greens. I also make and feed the DIY fish food with egg.

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

I do love feeding mine brine shrimp!! Definitely as a supplemental food... And blood worms

[@pondfishrancher]

holy crazy timing batman, im preparing to film my own video tomorrow on this subject also

[@AquaticElements]

Awesome! Will check it out 😊

[@harsha3446]

Woho 🎉 lots of love from India🇮🇳

[@SifuBang]

For young goldfish you can feed may timese a day but for full grown older fancies, I only feed 2-3 timese a day

[@debrakopas9175]

Thank you for your video you never mentioned anything about feeding your goldfish vegetables. Every site recommends vegetables

[@Grouse-n-Harridge]

The fish like the interpet fit & wild & i give them the d-allio plus granules every now and again along with various frozen food. Waiting for some random pellets from china to come to see what that's like.

[@GM-oy6ot]

Hey Chris have you tried Azayaka(Japanese), Cosmo(Thai) or Shogun pellets or know of them?

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

I just feed mine steamed eggs and boiled peas and save money 🤷

[@Andy-Ryukin]

Thankyou for the great video i gone through so many different pellets hluk definitely being best vitalis being another good one but i find Tetra gold range absolutely terrible so much air to the pellets i also like to feed de shell peas broccoli spinach then frozen food to

[@Fisher_Reptiles]

Great info, thanks for the video! What is that rose gold colored oranda called? I love that coloration! Beautiful fish and setup!

[@AquaticElements]

Which one, sorry? Is it the one with the black fins? 😁

[@Fisher_Reptiles]

​@FancyGoldfishFanatics yes, at the bottom of the tank at 0:30

[@AquaticElements]

Ahh yes! That's Nero, he was fully black before and completely changed. I have some very old pictures of him on my instagram account 😁

[@GM-oy6ot]

Hey Chris have you tried Cosmo, Azayaka and Shogun gf food or know of?

[@AquaticElements]

Is Azayaka the japanese food? I've tried that one many years ago but not tried the others. I'm still searching for my perfect food 😋

[@Lion19722]

What made you choose Oranda, I’m sure in one of your earlier video you preferred Ranchu and they were your favourite

[@AquaticElements]

I used to keep ranchu but preferred to switch to oranda with the depth of the new tank, and oranda provided a bit more presence in a large tank. Thanks 😁

[@tonytp-l3j]

You should do more research on high protein pellets as they are not good for fish digestion. Koi keepers are only feeding 40-45% protein during summer for a reason. Imo, if you keep feeding hulx and other high protein pellets, your fishes will get bloated and dropsy. Look up hikari wheat germ to help with fish digestion

[@AquaticElements]

Please take a look at my review on the HULX foods, I go into more explanation on the positive and negative impacts there 😊

[@tonytp-l3j]

@@AquaticElements and do you have any research that point to negative view on hikari pellets while other famous koi keeper saying that hikari pellets are good for fish digestion with wheat germ and yeast? You said you don't like wheat germ and yeast in himari ingredients list

[@AquaticElements]

I don't like the use of fillers like wheat and glutinous products, as this is far from the natural diet. Koi are very similar to their wild counterparts genetically, in comparison to fancy goldfish from the common goldfish. And so they have a far better digestive system, and capabilities of breaking down foods. The use of bulking agents and fillers can, therefore, have an increased detriment to the Fancy Goldfish due to their physical differences, in my opinion. Thank you 😊

[@tonytp-l3j]

@@AquaticElements then why do you think carp researchers suggests wheat germ and yeast to help with digestion and avoid high protein food? While unknown youtubers keep spreading misinformation and say avoid wheat herm yeast and go for high protein? Keep update on your goldfish and i expect they won't last long due to high protein food.

[@AquaticElements]

I would read and listen to what I say before making accusations. Firstly, I haven't created any miss information, simply portrayed my opinion in videos. Secondly, I haven't just come up with my opinions from no background or research. I have a bachelor of science degree in fisheries, and over a decades experience in the industry. I never ask anyone to accept or act on my opinions, Just share my thoughts and ideas. I've never said high protein is a must and the way forward. You're welcome to do the same. Thanks for watching, and I appreciate your views 👍🏼

Bizarrely one of my orandas likes to eat fins of the other goldies she was bullying one particular ranchu which I removed from the tank now she has attacked all the other goldfish so I’ve had to remove her she had just spawned last week so I don’t know if this has anything to do with it Is this normal I’ve never experienced it before

[@AquaticElements]

Very strange indeed, are you sure she's not a male fish? To me, it sounds like possible breeding behaviour

[@darrenwhitehead3406]

@@AquaticElements 100% sure she’s female buddy as I hand spawned her the week before fry have hatched and are doing well👍

[@Primosanity]

what do you recommend feeding juvy potential grade orandas and ranchu

[@AquaticElements]

You can feed crushed up pellets that you feed to older fish. Or daphnia ans blood worms is very good. High protein pellets that are very fine work well too

[@achiie14]

Hello can i ask where do you buy your emperor fish food?

[@AquaticElements]

I got mine direct from HULX but I don't know if they have restocked yet

[@achiie14]

@@AquaticElements thank you so much. I’ll check them out🙏🏼

Frozen peas ? Thawed out

[@AquaticElements]

Yes 😆. You can zap them in the microwave for a minute in some water

@@AquaticElements Have you fed those to your guys ?

[@AquaticElements]

Yes they slurp them up. You can pop them out of the shells

Can goldfish eat all types of mussels?

[@AquaticElements]

I feed them the frozen cooked ones from Tesco. Just makensure they are chopped up into bit size pieces 😄

Tubifex live food

[@missyflutter5562]

You need to be careful of live tubifex it can carry parasites. Freeze dried are cleaner and have the same nutrients. 😊
