Things Goldfish like

mr bubbles · 07-20-2006, 08:24 PM

I see too many threads in here on people having trouble with their fish, why not post up some things that you think are cool that you've found your fish like?

anything from foods to decorative plants or figures to, in my fish's case, they like piano music. they get much more active when they hear it and i think they enjoy it! anyone have anything interesting that their fish like?

another thing mine like is mysis shrimp that i feed the saltwater tank.

Well I find that since I put a couple bubble stones in my tank my Goldfish love playing in them. I find the Commets like it the best but the rest go threw them too. Also I was surprised that they like orange, sometimes when I eat an orange ill save them a couple sections and break it appart so they can eat it.

do the fancy goldfish enjoy the air stones too? i was thinking of putting one in my tank but wasnt sure if they'd enjoy it or not.

Yeah Fancys like it too. They dont seam to get in the bubbles as much and it took longer before they started to play in it but they seam to enjoy playing in the bubbles too.

My lfs gives their goldfish a slice of orange every other day and I have watched the goldfish and they will eat it down to the rind.

Now my two goldies get a slice of orange every 3 or 4 days. I just cut a slice (about 1/2 inch thick), cut it in half and plop it in their tank.

My two common goldfish that I had loved tomatoes (without the skin). I would cut the tomato really small so they could eat it. They really like eating it. It saves money on the food bill and helps with their color. You have to get rid of excess food that are leftovers.
