Do Goldfish get sick of eating the same fish food?

Answer 1

Goldfish have a 3 second memory, so everytime they meet it's a new meal!!!

Answer 2

Goldfish need a variety of foods if you want to keep them healthy. In addition to pellets or flakes, which should be soaked before feeding them to the fish, they also need a variety of foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, romaine lettuce or any other dark green lettuce, spinach, frozen peas or cooked peas, earthworms, eggs, gelatin cubes, cucumber, grapes oranges, kiwi fruit, and any other fruit or veggie you want to try. Just remember to take it out if they don't act interested and don't eat it. But, like humans, we eat the same old crap, even if it isn't good for us, so, maybe they don't get sick of the same thing, but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't make sure to feed them the good foods they need.

Answer 3

Well I use to feed my fish (I have 50 gal with many different kind of fish) two or three different foods everyday. I have like 9 or 10 different foods. From what I can see, the fish seems to be much more active when feeding time come. So I believe they're more exicitied about feeding because they know there's something different and will work to look for their favorite meals. Also their color was amazing!

Answer 4

I don't think they get sick of it, but I do think they would be healthier and live longer if you put some variety in their diet (like any animal would be.) If you're feeding a good quality food made specifically for goldfish, meaning that it has a good balance of protein and plant matter, they'll be just fine. If you want to do more, here's a good page about their dietary requirements and fresh food that are good for them as treats:

Answer 5

goldfish do not get tired of eating the same kind of food because they don't even remember eating it the last time. they have a memory span of 3 seconds. i promise you, you don't need to worry.

Answer 6

Goldfish eat their own turds and forget that they tried to eat their own turds about 5 times before it finally gets to the bottom of the tank.

Answer 7

I think so. That's why I feed mine small fish stick morsels occasionally
