my fish aint eating my food?

Answer 1

You have gold fish right? Try feeding them a few peas or leafy greens oranges etc. GOld fish usually aren't that picky.

What is the temperature in your tank? If the tank is sitting around the 55 degree mark, your fish are on the edge of Hybernation. If they are new to the tank, they more than likely will not eat the first day or two of putting them into the tank.

I would give them a few days and see if this changes. It is normal though.

Answer 2

Just a suggestion - If you would like serious answers, you might want to let us know what type(s) of fish and what you're trying to feed them.

EDIT: Okay, no new info, so I'll try without knowing the fish species. First, so fish are very specialized in their diet - they might be filter feeders, herbivores, or need something like bloodworms or live food. Check the diet for your type of fish in the links I'll provide in the "sources" section. If your fish is new, it may be that he's still stressed from being moved to a new tank, or you're not giving him the kind of food it was used to getting where you bought it. If he's mouthing the food and still not eating after a few days, you might try softening it if it's pellets or flakes - just let it sit in some tank water before you give it to him. You can always try another brand of food if it still won't eat. If none of these work, your fish might have an internal parasite problem.

Answer 3

It takes a fish a long time to starve to death. So assuming you are feeding the appropriate food they will eat soon enough.

Answer 4

They should not be eating your food in the first place..Try fish food.

Answer 5

Give them a few days and if they still won;t eat it try another food. If they don't eat that then something is wrong with the fish.
