Feeder Fish question!!!!! IMPORTANT!

[Rbishop]

Not to hijack the thread or to argue becuase I basically agree, but can some one lead me to some links that document the nutritional value of goldfish. Not a site that just says they are not, but some solid unbiased evidence. Thanks.

Feeder fish (guppies and goldfish)

 

[robbob2112]

Excess consumption of goldfish will prevent a fish from being able to absorb thiamine. However, as everyone else has stated, "once in a while" is good. It is debated whether feeders are ness. at all.

Prevent absorbing thiamine? Can you provide a link that talks about that? I have never heard of anything like it.

during the time this goldfish was in quarantine, did it receive any medicated food or anything to handle possible internal parasites (camallanus, etc.)
