How Do You Know If Your Goldfish Hungry?

LOL! They are always hungry! Most fish will eat until they bust! Goldfish are best fed one or two small meals per day. If they eat too much they can develop problems like constipation. Fish food portions can be difficult to measure out. It depends on what type of food you feed. Flakes, crumbles, pellets, fresh... Goldies like to nibble on the tank sides and ornaments and can often be seen sifting through the gravel for spare scraps. This is why it's so important to check your tank and water quality. Use test strips from your pet store and check for amonia and nitrites. If your tank water gets cloudy it may be you are feeding too much. If water test strips test good and your goldies have bright color then you are probably feeding enough.
