Can goldfish eat meat?

Question

Is this dangerous?

Answer 1

In the wild goldfish are natural predators of small animals. They will eat small crustaceans and fish and any other small animal they can get their mouth on. However, if you are going to feed them meat, I would suggest you do so sparingly. Goldfish have a tendency to revert back to the natural ways and they could start eating other fish in the tank.

Answer 2

Goldfish are omnivours and yes they can and should eat meat. I'd stick with the seafood kind though. They are not strictly vegatarian as some people might tell you. Any human grade seafood is more than safe to feed your goldfish.

Answer 7

It wouldn't be good for them that's for sure. You should feed them only prepared fish foods or fresh veggies like lettuce, cucumber, squash and the like. Goldfish aren't carnivores.
