To prevent your goldfish from overeating, it is important to feed them only the recommended amount of food and to feed them at regular intervals. You should also avoid feeding them foods that are high in fat or protein, as these can be more difficult for them to digest. If you are unsure how much to feed your goldfish, you can consult with your local pet store or veterinarian.
