no gold fish....not healthy for pimas.

feed dry foods and fresh or frozen fish ( not oily)


Couldn't have said it better.

Freshwater fish for the staple of it's diet, market shrimp supplements and man made food like gel diet or some types of pellets work.

Nothing ever cooked, and avoid the goldfish.

what's a good staple freshwater fish to feed him?

Liveones


It depends on what you have in your area. Just think about the kinds of food they eat in the wild, then try to match that as close as possible. Trout, bass, minnows, cichlids (tilapia work great), shrimp, gel diet (Mazuri makes a great one), worms etc...
