	Supplement for Goldfish and Cory
wk Fingerling Posts: 32 Kudos: 35 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Aug-2004	Hi, I have ranchu (a type of goldfish) and some cories in a 30 gallon tank. I feed them a mixes of fish food, pellets, goldfish food and cories food. But it gives me a feeling that they are constipated even though I soak the food till they are fully soaked before feeding them. And it doesn't seem too good to let eat only 'processed' fish food only. I am thinking of giving them some supplementary food like vegetables or even fruits for both fishes. Any suggestions ? Thanks.

Why do you feel as if they're constipated? If you really do fear for them, just try feeding the fish a shelled pea. That is supposed to help them out, or so I've heard. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

You can feed them just about any veggies, but the favorites are bits of orange, cooked carrots, shelled peas, blanched broccoli, and more! Here's a GREAT goldfish site: http://www.goldfishparadise.com
