My Goldfish doesn't eat spinach or carrots, but it does eat peas?

Question

Hi, I've read through various web pages where it is suggested to feed spinach, carrots, peas etc. My goldfish does eat peas, but it just spits out carrots and spinach. I've tried given them these things fresh as well as thawed. Is this a common like-dislike issue? What other things should i try feeding them? Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

dont give it spinage or carrots they may choke

Answer 2

All fish have a personality of their own.  You could try using zucchini and I know goldfish love oranges.  Also they like frozen bloodworms.  I haven't heard of goldfish really loving carrots or spinach.

Answer 3

I had a goldfish named Blacky. He lived to be almost 7 years old and I never gave him any veggies or other people food. He was always a very good eater. Loved the dried shrimp and worms too. Other than these snacks I fed him either the goldfish flakes or the pellets. He was the biggest, most beautiful black moor goldfish I have ever seen. Rest in peace, Blacky.
