Fancy Goldfish and a Cory
Here are all five of my goldfish. From left to right they are Mojoanna, Wabi-Sabi, Bubbles, Sun, and Barri. The catfish, I just call him Charlie. I had almost ran out of their favorite food which is Saki-Hikari Fancy Goldfish Food. My first supply of this food came from Doctors Foster and Smith on-line store so I ordered from them again. However they were out and put a back-order in for me. So I thought in a week or two longer I would get it, but it never came. This was like over a month ago. So I email them and they say it will be another month before they get any more from their supplier. Since I already paid for the shipping, I’ve let the order remain and maybe in a few weeks I’ll get the two packages I ordered. Well my fish don’t really understand why I’ve rationed them on the good stuff and were getting impatient with me. They kept giving me this worried look. So I go ahead and order a package from Amazon while waiting on the order from Foster and Smith. The food came in yesterday so I give the fish the rest of the food I had been rationing out. They went crazy. They really love this food. I feed them crisps and flakes, but this stuff they go nuts over. So my fish will have to work with me here because the food is rather expensive along with the shipping. I will not feed it to them at every feeding, but every other day or so I will. I sure do enjoy these fish. They are a pleasure to watch.
Swimming Bubbles
So Bubbles is swimming around thinking about supper time. Bubbles, just like all my goldfish, really loves to eat. For that reason I try to keep various types of foods for them so they can have a variety. I usually feed them two times a day, early morning and evening. Sometimes at noon I will give a smidgen of something for a snack.
Good tasting small bottom pellets like Saki-Hikari and less expensive medium bottom pellets like Omega One are really enjoyed by my guys. I always include either flakes or crisps when I feed pellets. A couple of my fish prefer to eat from the bottom while others like to eat from the top. Then eventually they all gather at the bottom to finish up as the flakes and crisps sink downwards. I’ve been using the TetraFin Brand of flakes and crisps. I also have Aqueon Goldfish Granules that slowly sink to the bottom. I have two types of floating pellets. One is rather expensive and I really do not recall the brand. The other floating pellets I use are Wardley’s.
Of all the above food, Saki-Hikari is hands down the most preferred by all my fish. I do keep the variety because my fish never know what they are going to get.
