Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / February 2008Do You Feed Your Goldfish Peas?
I fed them a few frozen peas. I put them in a dish of water, and took the shells off. They really seemed to enjoy the peas. > I fed them a few frozen peas.

I'm not sure how often goldies should be fed them. On Feb 25, 6:37?pm, Romanta...@webtv.net (L u) wrote: > I fed them a few frozen peas. I put them in a dish of water, and took > the shells off.

Use frozen peas, dampen in water and squeeze between your thumb and forefinger to deskin. > On Feb 25, 6:37?pm, Romanta...@webtv.net (L u) wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Use frozen peas, dampen in water and squeeze between your thumb and > forefinger to deskin. Why does everyone like to feed a laxative to their fish............there is beter alternatives than peas that does not involve eating a laxative. How many of you would feed your kids Ex Lax just because they like chocolate? because most people are feeding species inappropriate food to fish and it binds them up, it rots in their gut. no need for peas when feeding zooplankton or chopped up something that comes out of ponds, lakes or oceans. it is also a quantity thing. when feeding cheap commercial food there is so little nutrition that people are directed to overfeed their fish. with appropriate food fish are fantastic "converters" can turn 2 lbs of food into 1 lb of fish.

It's usually advice given to help somebody's fish out that is already constipated from being fed the wrong type of food. > > > "Tynk" <TY...@aol.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Proper food and proper water parameters all mean healthy unconstipated fish. I luck out withthe bulk foods I get for my outside fish in that a mill is 2 miles down the road and they sell top quality food, which the local zoo buys as well as various other so called theme parks here to feed their fish. I also buy top quality foods made by Hikari and a few others that is rated as top quality foods. I do not shop price, but shop by label and contents in the container. I will not feed most tetra or any wardly products, or any house brand foods like Top fin..........although Top Fin cichlid foods abnd algae wafers have done good for me when used previously. About the only Tetra brand food I feed is Crisps......I feed lots of live as well as frozen foods. Not really that keen on freeze dried foods though.......I do but frozen blocks of krill and also brine shrimp and most all fish FW and SW eat krill and brine......I go fishing on the gulf a lot and we cxatch what we call pin fish which are all choped up or gorup up and eventually fed to the koi as are the numerous bream and shad I catch with a cast net in the one other pond we have......but for the most part the outside fish do pretty well on their own without any additonal food. We do however feed foods to em all especially the tropicals we keep in preforms outside. IMNSHO getting fed what amounts to be a laxative certainly is not viewed by me as a treat. Don't believe me its a treat, go take some ospho soda or exlax and see if you enjoy it.........I doubt it! |
