I just got a new Ryukin calico goldfish yesterday and attempted to feed him fish food made for goldfish. He refused to eat it unless it was in the gravel but then he just spat it out. So I decided to see if he would eat some cichlid pellets. I gave him a pellet that I feed to my oscar thats 2 times smaller than a pea. To my suprise he ATE IT! Its not made for goldfish so I don't know if it's OK for him to eat. He only likes large floating pellets. Will this hurt my cichlid food-loving goldfish?
 
goldfish do not have the digestive system to handle cichlid pellets. Thats way they have their own type of food. you could try koi pellets that would work.
 
Thanks! :)
