2020-05-08 / 1124 Read

Gold fish is an omnivorous ornamental fish that has been cultivated and bred by humans for a long time. Like crucian carp, it eats both animal feed and plant feed. If you have the heart, you can find that they love almost everything. As long as it is something that is visible and within reach, goldfish will be eager to taste it. When hungry, they don't even spare their own feces.

They really like to eat a lot. Animals are: planktonic fleas (that is, fish, worms, red worms, etc.), water worms (nematodes), larvae, cooked egg yolks, earthworms, worms of suitable size... Plants are: yellow algae, silicon Algae, green algae, weed, duckweed, aquatic plants, bran, bean cakes, noodles, rice, bread... In addition, there are a variety of dry food - dried red worms and artificial feed to choose from. Your goldfish must not have such a good taste, right? It doesn't matter, goldfish are not too picky eaters, and they can eat the same food for a lifetime. As long as they are alive, they will eat with relish.

It is generally believed that it is best to feed live food (such as red worms, water worms, etc.), goldfish will grow quickly, and feeding dry worms or artificial feed is an expedient measure, and there is no way to do it. However, the author has raised goldfish for nearly 20 years, but came to the opposite conclusion. If you're a goldfish lover and you're keeping them indoors in a glass tank, then my experience will work very well.

Although live food (such as red worms, water earthworms, etc.) is rich in nutrients, the palatability is also the best. But they usually only grow in filthy ponds, ditches and puddles, where they are fished from these natural bodies of water and carry a lot of bacteria and parasites. General cleaning is not easy to remove. Goldfish eat this kind of food for a long time and will inevitably get sick. The more common ones are white spot disease (small melon worm disease), gill rot disease and third-generation worm disease, which are precisely the three most difficult to cure. If detected in time, it can be cured. However, the pathogen enters the fish tank with each feeding, and it will not take long for the goldfish to get the same disease. When this happens several times, not to mention that it is a blow to the fish farmers, the goldfish itself can't stand it, the physique declines, the body becomes thin, and the ornamental value gradually loses... The fate of premature death is inevitable.

In the end, the author chose the recipe of Dry Mealworm for goldfish. Dry food includes dried red worms and artificial full-price feed. The nutrition is no worse than that of live food, and it is even more comprehensive. The most important thing is to be relatively clean, which greatly reduces the chance of goldfish getting sick. At the same time, feeding dry food should follow the principle of eat less and eat more, feeding a little less each time and feeding more times. One such goldfish digests better, and at the same time it is easy to establish a relationship with the owner. As soon as you get close to the tank, the goldfish will immediately come to you to eat. At this time, you have to pay attention, goldfish are very greedy, and the daily feeding amount must be controlled. If it cannot be asked, you will give it. Anyway, it's a long time coming to Japan! As long as the goldfish is healthy, you can enjoy the fun of feeding goldfish every day, and your goldfish can also enjoy the unparalleled feeling brought by food every day. If you have a larger goldfish, you can also try feeding some mealworms, even if it is dessert, this is live food, and absolutely clean. You may not dare to eat your goldfish at first, but after you become addicted to it, you are guaranteed to have every meal.
