Gold fish Food – Healthy Pellets, Flakes & Everyday Nutrition

We recognise that your goldfish are more than just pets. That’s why we stock a range of goldfish food designed for longevity and vitality. Our goldfish foods are formulated using high-quality proteins to support development, digestion and body condition. Whether your fish prefer surface feeding or foraging at the bottom, we provide both floating and sinking pellet options.

When feeding goldfish, there are two things to consider:

• Quantity of Food
• Pellets vs Flakes

While the specific choice often depends on the owner and their fish, there are a few key rules of thumb to follow.

Quantity of Food

The most important rule when feeding goldfish has nothing to do with the food itself, but how much of it you feed.

When a customer walks into the shop with cloudy water, algae, a clogged filter, or fish that look a bit sluggish, the first thing we’ll ask is “How much do you feed your fish?”

So how much should you feed your goldfish?

Goldfish are opportunistic scavengers, if you keep adding food, they will keep trying to eat it. However, their bodies can only process so much at once. Any pellets still floating around or sitting on the gravel after two minutes are officially waste.

Leaving uneaten food in the water is like leaving a sandwich to rot under your sofa. It breaks down and releases ammonia into the water, which can quickly cause poor water quality and unhealthy fish.

They may beg for food, but a slightly hungry goldfish is usually a healthier and more active goldfish.

Pellets vs Flakes

While many people think all fish food is created equal, what you put in the tank directly affects both the health of your goldfish and the clarity of your water.

At The Fish Works, we carry a range of options, but we always emphasise quality.
