shouldn't feed goldfish, they contain thiaminase, an enzyme that inhibits the uptake of thiamin or vitamin B1. cool gar thou

more detailed explanation?

[D.Pulcher]

I too have a gar and only feed em rosies and krill i heard that gold fish are more likely to give illnesses and are very fatty if giving on a regular basis

[xander]

more detailed explanation?

well it's just that goldfish have enzymes that destroy vitamin B and thus is unhealthy for a staple diet, amongst other reasons, fatty, drop lots of scales etc

to add a few more things...disease and parasites...need we go on. goldfish just have a very low nutritional value in general. unless they are quarentined and fed a good nutritional diet. which most people are too lazy to do.

the best thing to do is to get them on a high quality pellet or other prepared food. also feed them fresh fish fillet, raw shrimp, smelt, or most other fish with white meat. avoid foods like salmon, tuna, etc...
