>- Brine shrimp: Brine shrimp are a popular live food for goldfish and can be easily hatched at home. Simply place some brine shrimp eggs in a bowl of saltwater and let them hatch for 24-48 hours. Once hatched, the brine shrimp can be fed to your goldfish directly or added to their regular food.
- Daphnia: Daphnia, also known as water fleas, are another live food option for goldfish. They are small crustaceans that can be found in ponds and lakes. If you have access to a natural water source, you can collect daphnia using a fine mesh net. Daphnia can be fed to goldfish directly or added to their regular food.
- Frozen foods: Frozen foods, such as frozen brine shrimp, frozen bloodworms, and frozen mysis shrimp, are a convenient and nutritious option for feeding goldfish. Simply thaw the frozen food according to the package instructions and feed it to your goldfish.
- Freeze-dried foods: Freeze-dried foods, such as freeze-dried brine shrimp, freeze-dried bloodworms, and freeze-dried mysis shrimp, are another convenient option for feeding goldfish. Simply add the freeze-dried food to your goldfish's tank and let it rehydrate before feeding it to them.
- Vegetables: Some goldfish enjoy eating vegetables, such as lettuce, spinach, and peas. Vegetables should be boiled or steamed before feeding them to goldfish to soften them up.
- Bread crumbs: Bread crumbs can be used as a temporary food source for goldfish in an emergency. However, bread crumbs should be fed in moderation as they lack the nutrients that goldfish need to stay healthy.
