	Food for goldfish
angel2211 Hobbyist Posts: 113 Kudos: 154 Votes: 1 Registered: 09-May-2004	My mother in law has cold water fish and seeing as i've not much to do with them (and neither has she) i thought i'd ask here. She noticed i feed my fish all types of different food and was wondering if she could feed her fish such things as sinking pellets, bloodworms or brine shrimp. I checked out the net and most of the advice was be careful as to what they eat. Just wondering if any one has any suggestions.

I'm currently using Hikari goldfish pellets, and some peas on occasion. From what I've read too much protein can be troublesome in golfish, especially when they're kept in tanks 55 gallons or under. ^_^
