Goldfish are natural scavengers and omnivores ,they basically eat everything! In the wild, goldfish naturally get a varied diet that consists of crustaceans, insects, algae or even leaves.

Goldfish love to have variety in what they eat. They have a high need for fresh fruit and vegetables. Feed them veggies and fruit regularly and you can expect them to stay far healthier and thrive.

For those goldfish that living in aquariums, it is normal for that the owners feed them with fish pellets. your goldfish may not getting enough fiber because flakes are not a balanced enough diet. Thus, i’m having the following special recipe for my goldfish :
