No. Starve her... eventually she'll eat it. They all always do. *evil laugh*
Although, I suggest you try to get her eating fish pellets designed for carnivorous fish. It'll be much better in the long run.
this is the media lounge and no pics..thats not fair.post some pics of your jar and start your discussion topics in the arowana lounge and not media lounge
Goldfish just generaly are poor feeders and should be avoided. they are oily not very nutritious and constant feed of them causes faty deposits on the liver leading to premature deaths.They also contain very high levels of Thiaminase a destroying hormone.While many fish used as feeders contain this, goldfish seem to have an abundance of it.Another issue is a spine at the front of the dorsal fin which can lead to problems if the goldfish is swollowed the wrong way (tailfirst).Yet another reason not to use goldfish,goldfish farms utilize copper meds in suspension form to combat diseases in the feeders associated with overcrowding.These copper meds are retained by the feeders for long periods after they leave the farms.Most lfs invariably retain all or part of the feeders shipping water when the feeders are loaded into their bins/tanks. And copper does not dissapate from a closed system.

i didnt mean it as the way you think, i mean that they could cause DE if the goldfish stay down low, the arow would look down to find them.
