    Due to your recommendations on insta I bought the mizuho feed. I feed mizuho pellets at night, and I alternate between frozen blood worms and brine shrimp in the morning. Mid day is either mizuho pellets or repashy super gold. My goldfish was bought mid November at 1.5-2 inches and is now about 4-5 inches mid January 😱 I do 50% water changes twice a week. I always provide duckweed at the top that they graze on and I supplement peas twice a week

    I learned a very hard lesson recently..... My goldfish became uniquely wedged in a decor castle, one that he would typically be able to enter and leave without problem. He stumbled himself trapped in a complex wedge. It would have happened after his morning feeding, and I was busy throughout the day, so it wasn't until evening time I discovered him giving up. I physically had to free him, in which I could determine he was extremely stuck. Im sure it hurt him while freeing him, but he had done most of his damage while likely squirming around until he had no more energy. It was so sad... tank medication and all, he only lasted a day after that. He was a big guy... he had stripped a lot of his scales off, tearing himself very deep, most fins were destroyed.... a very hard lesson to learn.

      This could happen also with a big bushy bunch of plants too, as goldfish love to dig right into a big pile of plants and search for whatever morsel of leftover food. Sometimes they are stuck in the plant as it's really thick and they are so fat and round. They really do need you to keep an eye on them. They are essentially helpless fattie wigglers in water. I have a bunch of ping pong pearslaces (my favorite GF breed) and they are always wiggling into mischief.

    It always amazes me when I watch videos on feeding fish, any species of fish, just how much more food the fish on the video are consuming then how much I feed my fish. Amazed. I feed my Shubunkins and my sarasas' twice a day sometimes three, but never in the amounts shown on the videos. Mine don't look starved. And they seem to grow well. My males look mean and lean. Actually I'm rather afraid to feed more as I do not want ammonia spikes or bloated fish. I guess it is if it does work for a persons fish do not change their pattern of food consumption, if it works! Great video.

    My relatives are strictly against "bugs" in the freezer, so instead of daphnia or bloodworms I feed my goldfish with minced seafood/ fish meat. That goes once a week. The rest of the days pellets. Also, I vary the protein content in the feed depending on the water temperature. The higher the temperature, the more protein.

    I feed my ranchu and oranda with different pellets. Hikari is my favorite.m brand. Color enhancement with probiotics and Head growing with high protein and alternating them. Also prepare some lower protein pellets too in case in cold weather and you don’t have heater on, feed them with low protein. Also have bloodworm, duckweed, peas and lettuce. Also life spectrum has garlic fish food get it too. I also get hex shield pellets from life spectrum in case they have intestine parasites. For gel food, get dandy oranda super gold. That thing is great. Yes you are absolutely right, feed your fish with varieties of food! Oh man, I am broke with all these food I get for my babes

    Hi Luke, I have a 12 gallon hexagonal tank, with 1 baby black moor. I am working up to getting him or her a 55 gallon tank as soon as the 12 gallon has properly cycled. I am 8 weeks into cycle now, the ammonia has disappeared now and I am now getting higher levels of nitrite. I have been doing 25% water changes twice a week and feeding every other day, sinking pellets about 6 or so and half a pea boiled and cut into tiny pieces, it takes him about 20 minutes to consume half a pea 😄
    He is only about 2 - 3 inches long including tail. He is always active and has a good appetite and spends hours searching round for food. I don't want to overfeed him whilst the tank is still cycling. I am using 1 mL of prime every other day to bind the nitrite levels, and Stability 2.5 mL when doing my water changes. Am I doing everything right?

    No need to wait to boil peas...just place peas in a flat microwave safe dish, cover in a layer of paper towel, douse with distilled water to wet the towel covering the peas, nuke in microwave for 2 minutes. Then let cool...then peel and deshell peas and feed peas to fish. Really fast and the peas are soft and ready to eat by fish.

    @jonnyshock9165 2 года назад

    Hi Luke, just a quick question or to anyone who can help? I have a 350 litre (or 75 gallon tank) with 3 young goldfish which are always ravenous! Especially Blackey the black moor! He scoffs down 20 sinking sticks in one go in one sitting and wants more all the time, he is less than a year old. He even got a piece of gravel stuck the other day. I had to feed him a couple of peas to check he had spat it out and he was able to poo! I saw a vet on RUclips who went to a fish with 'hole in the head' disease. The vet explained it was because the fish wasn't getting enough nutrition, so upped its diet. He said to feed 0.5 to 1% of the fish's body weight. We feed the small sinking sticks. We have a piece of tubing from a gravel vac attached with suckers to the glass as a feeding tube with a rounded glass dish at the bottom to catch the food so it doesn't get churned all over the tank polluting the water. Blackey is always there 1st he finds floating food hard to navigate. The other 2 like to be fed via a teaspoon dropping the food from the top. I have to feed them separately to Blackey or he eats it all. I feeding him 20 small sticks a day because he is bigger than the other two. And the other two 10 sticks each. They have a couple of small pinches of bug bites as a starter while I soak their sticks. Am I feeding them too much or not enough. I do partial water changes every week.

    Don't use flakes...makes a gigantic mess unless you want to shut off the HOB filters when feeding flakes and you also have other fish eating the small flake particle. For frozen bloodworm, place frozen slab pieces in a fish net, run under warm tap water, wash out the blood and it's a good way to flush whatever yuckiness out of the worms....then feed using a chopstick to get a portion into the tank, or use a tweezer, or your fingers......kinda gross though.

    I don't recommend dropping in frozen food. It should be thawed out.

    Is it okay to give my 2 inches goldfish 4-5 mini-pellets per feeding?

      And also is it okay for their tank temperature to be 29 degrees Celsius?

    I make enough gel food for 10 days. It stays fresh for two weeks.
