tweezers These tweezers are used in case I give foods to fishes.These are about 300yen at aquarium shop.By using this tool, it can prevent giving food too much.
Saki-hikari(Kyorin)
saki-hikari This food is the business-use feed currently used in the nursery of colored carpes. Although this is the food for carps, the result which goldfishes may eat is obtained. Usually, this is sold only at the big bag containing 20kg(about 44 pounds). But some shops sell this food by a small bags.
Thanks to this food, a goldfish becomes healthy. The bacteria which carry out the work from which this food rescues digestion are blended. We can buy the package containing 400g(about 14onz) for 800 yen.

Lemna perpusilla Torrey
aoukikusa I found these floating weed in the bowl of a water lily currently sold at the tropical fish shop. The Salesclerk of that shop gave me them pleasantly.

I heard that vegetable foods make the intestines of goldfishes length. Consequently, it grows up goldfishes into a roundish beautiful form.

You can find those natural floating weeds also in a paddy field or a swamp.However, since agricultural chemicals may have adhered to those floating weeds, you should be careful.

TetoraFin for Goldfishes
Tetra-fin
This is one of the food of the goldfish which is the most popular our country. If you visit Japan, this food will be found in almost all the tropical fish shop. This food has the form of thin flakes. Goldfishes can digest this food easily. I purchased the package containing 50g(about 1.8onz). The price of it was 270 yen.

Tetra Vegetable
Tetra vegetavle
This food is for the vegetalian fishes like Gouramis or Mollies.Compared with the food for goldfishes, this is 4 times expensive. A 20g(0.9onz) package carries out no less than 580 yen.The color of a goldfish will become vivid,if you give them foods with which many vegetable carotenoid was contained.


They like and eat this food, Otocinclus and shrimps.

Freeze-dry warm
freeze dyied warm
This warm is a favorite food for a goldfish. A goldfish eats all these food with sufficient vigor. However, since this food is hard to be digested, don't give it too much to a goldfish.It was 600yen.

Medi-Super Gold
mede super gold
Food with which bacteria, such as LF, were blended. In order to help digestion of a goldfish and to heighten immunity power, it is said that it is hard that it comes to start desease. Since this food is an object for Ranchu, it sinks in water. The goldfishes of my home are not used to eating the sinking food. Distinction of food and the gravel at the bottom of a tank does not attach them.

Medi-gold
medi gold

Although it is the same brand as the upper food, it floats on the water surface. Since the grains are large, this food has not turned to a small goldfish. It is large and hard food, I have given the goldfish, after steeping this with water.
steeps with water
Food will become soft if it steeps with water. Goldfishes eat this easily.

Spinach
Spinach When it was good to have given a spinach to a goldfish, I knew that from many sites about goldfishes.

Considering safety, I purchased the agrochemical-free spinach. It was very as expensive as 300 yen at one bundle. Before giving a goldfish, it is necessary to boil a spinach with salt water. The boiled spinach is exposed to cold water and bitter taste is removed. I divided spinach to small, and wrap in a lap and freeze.Having to thaw, whenever it gave this to the goldfish, I thought that It takes time and effort.. Therefore, this food is not used recently. If a spinach is eaten, a goldfish will carry out vivid green excrement.

My Goldfishes don't become large..

"I'm nou busy!"

Little food is given for the health of a goldfish.

Supposing you give a lot of food to a goldfish, they will grow greatly rapidly.However, you have to become prudent in that case. A lot of food is because it is easy to soil water and a burden is applied to the digestive function of a Goldfish.

I am not an expert of keeping goldfishes,so I chose the safe way. I reduce the quantity of food, and I always mind that the health of a goldfish is maintained.
