what kind of human food could i ...?

Question

feed my fish? other than peas and corn?

its a goldfish and you people are really weird i would never do some of those things to my fish.

Answer 1

I feed my goldies pro-gold and then supplement their diet with fresh veggies.

Peas and steamed zucchini are great treats. They LOVE orange slices.

I would stay away from anything made for human consumption- like bread, cheerios...- they have preservatives and iodized salt in them.

Answer 2

A good staple prepared food like pellets should form the backbone of any fishes diet and that includes goldfish. There are other things you can and should feed them as well.

Goldfish are omnivores and require a fairly well balanced diet. About 40% protein, 25% fat and 35% carbohydrate. These should come from a variety of sources to give a proper balance of vitamins, minerals and micro nutrients.

Most any vegetable is good goldfish food assuming you soften it enough for the fish. Green veggies are particularly good.

Sugars are not really needed in a fishes diet and can basically be ignored. They are biologically cheap energy, but the fish will get all the quick energy it needs from the carbohydrates in the veggies.

As for fats and proteins, the best source is from things that grow in freshwater. Cold blooded animals need and store different amino acids than warm blooded animals and therefore things such as insect larvae, aquatic crustaceans and freshwater fish will offer your goldfish the best balance of fats, proteins and amino acids. Beef, chicken and pork should all be avoided if possible in favor of the more digestible and better balanced sources of proteins.

You can feed fish other fish, clams, oysters andthing fresh from the seafood market. Just put in a blender with some vitamins and wah lah! Good fish food. Most flake food is full of "filler crap" anyways. ANd just curious why do you use corn and peas to feed your fish? From my experience as a fisherman and fish keeper of salt and fresh water corn and and bean/pea is a trick used to catch certain mountain trout and other fish in Europe. I just do not think that it has any good values for the fish if your feeding them that. But i would have to do some research on it. :) Also depending on what fish you have you can feed them Vegtables only certain ones though tht contain good vitamins fish can digest.

Hope this helps a bit.
