Goldfish are omnivores, which means they can eat both plant and animal matter. In captivity, goldfish typically thrive on a diet of specially formulated goldfish pellets or flakes which provide essential nutrients and vitamins. Additionally, they can also eat live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia as treats.
It is important to feed goldfish a balanced diet to keep them healthy and thriving. Overfeeding can lead to obesity and other health issues, so it is recommended to feed them only as much as they can consume in a few minutes, a couple of times a day. Remember to also provide variety in their diet to ensure they get all the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
