I always feed my goldfish twice a day. I feed them only what they can consume within a 5 minute period. Other than my difference in feeding procedures, the information is quite correct.

If you want a beautiful, planted tank (without your goldfish eating the plants), try planting Egeria densa (Anacharis, elodea). For some reason they never like to eat this, but don't worry-- it's perfectly safe.

Fish need vitamin C for a good immunity system, and either a type of fish or seafood should be listed as the first ingredient. If not first, then second is fine, if the first is a wheatgerm food. Make sure that corn is not one of the first four ingredients. It isn't easily digested. Corn Gluton is acceptable as fourth or later. It is the most easily digested part of corn. Cooked-non salted, non buttered rice or peas is a good snack. Grapefruit, dark lettuce (not iceberg) or an orange are good vitamin C supplements.

Freeze dried treats are the way to go if you want to avoid bacteria from frozen or live foods. Other treats that you can feed your goldfish include hard-boiled eggs, which is high in protein, and boiled peas with the skin removed. Boiled peas may help your fish's digestive system, especially if he is constipated or has swim-bladder disorder (characterized by swimming on his side or upside down).

on 8/6/2007 Center your decors in the middle of the bowl because goldfish like to swim in circles.

on 8/6/2007 goldfish enjoy nibbling on a live plant so be sure to put at least one in your tank, among other things.
