Gel Food For Goldfish.

I give my goldfish omega 1 goldfish pellets (pic below) also, how many pellets should I feed him? I usually soak a few, and give them to him twice a day.

Anyway, my main topic is, I want to add some more variety to my gold fishes diet, he is a rescue from a carnival, so he is on the skinner side.

I want to make goldfish gel food. Anyone have any recipes? Is it similar to snail jello? Because I make that all the time for my snails.

Do I just blend up some veggies (peas, carrots, broccoli, romaine lettuce) add gelatin, and follow the steps to make jello, and that’s that?

 

I recommend you give your goldfish about 3-6 pellets per feeding for good growth and health

 

I generally feed my goldfish snello, but I don't add calcium to it. Mine is spinach, kale, peas, ground shrimp and goldfish pellets, and unflavored gelatin.
I feed mine that food too, I generally do 2-4 per feeding, but mine is 5", so it depends on the size. Several smaller feedings are better for goldfish.

 

I feed respashy soilent green gel food with some blended up vegetables in. Usually I put some frozen foods in too. Peas are good since they have a lot of fibre in. Carrots are good for colour. A little orange is good too as they have lots of vitamin c in which helps the immune system.

 

Okay. So it is just ground up veggies! I have seen a lot of recipes using shrimp/salmon. Is this necessary? Or can it just be a veggie jello?

Generally I'd recommend a mix of 2/3 veggie-herbivore type stuff and 1/3 protien-insect-meaty stuff. Young goldfish should have more protien for growth.

 

Okay. So I will add some veggies. What protein would you recommend? Salmon?
