Getting new fish for my birthday!!!

[StarSapphire22]

Neither of them will accept the gel food. Steve said he fed almost exclusively veggies, with pellets rarely. They haven't eaten in like 5 or 6 days though, other than whatever they're finding in the sand...what goldfish don't want to eat??

Batman and Sammi ate a little...but no one seems to realize it's food when I drop it in. They are running away from my hand when I put it in the tank...they would always come over and check me out before. Everyone gets along fine now, though Sammi is still freaking out a bit and hides a lot.

AND on top of it all, the pearlscale has a booboo and IDK how to fix it.

So much for being an awesome goldie mom....

Here's the final recipe I used, if it helps, or anyone is wondering.

1 cup API pellets
1/2 cup Hikari daphnia
1/4 cup Nutrafin spirulina flakes
2 sheets of Sally's Seaweed Salad (Natural dried poryphyra yezoensis seaweed)
1 cup romaine lettuce
1 cup kale
1 cup spinach
4 containers of Gerber Garden Vegetables baby food (carrots, peas, water, spinach)
2 containers of Gerber Squash baby food (squash, water)
3 tbsp canned pumpkin (100% natural pumpkin)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (organic garlic, water)
1 tsp basil (organic basil, water)
unflavored gelatin

I soaked the pellets, daphnia, spirulina flakes, and ripped up pieces of seaweed in 2 cups of water for about 45 minutes, then added it to the other ingredients that had been chopped and mixed up, and pureed it all together. Then I set it with the gelatin, poured it into a glass cake pan, let chill for 8 hours (I went to bed, lol). I then cut it into small cubes, and spread it on a cookie sheet and froze it for 2 hours (this helps them not stick together later, supposedly). Afterwards, I put it in a ziploc bag, and stuck it back in the freezer.
