Do i have to feed my gold fish gold fish food or can i feed him Tropical fish food.

Question

i got a gold fish today (a black moore) and i forgot to get goldfish food but i already have a guppy in there (i know thats not a good idea to do) but my mother said that i could feed my gold fish the non-gold fish's food (tropical food c**p). so can i feed him that?

Answer 1

Short term it wont harm your goldfish.

Long term, goldfish food has more vege matter than most tropical mixes, so it's better to get them the correct food.

It's OK to give the goldfish a few tropical flakes, it wont kill it.

I don't really know much about goldfish, but I have tried to take care of them before, and maybe it's just me, but they died real quick.  If I were you I wouldn't take any chances if you really want this fish to live!

Answer 3

they will eat tropical fish food. goldfish will eat pretty much anything haha but yes tropical fish food is fine.

Answer 4

Totally Gold fish food!

I had 7 goldfishes b4 and I always fed them goldfish food.I'm not really sure what can happen if you feed it tropical fish food.Ask a vet...
