they love blood worms too and brine shrimp. It's important to note here that flakes aren't the best food for goldfish or anything else that floats on the surface of the water. Fancies, especially suffer the consequences of swim bladder issues from taking in too much air while trying to gulp down the food at the surface. When that happens, and it gets to be too much, there's trouble. I thought it was a rare occurrence but unfortunately, it's not.
goldfish also like fresh fruits and veggies, from what I hear (haven't had goldies since I was about 12). I've heard people give them zucchini, as well as orange slices and watermelon (seeds removed). It seems like they'll eat just about anything. Just experiment and see what works!

I feed some frozen foods like emrald entre and frozen goldfish and koi food by sallys san francisco bay.
well, it won't be any worse than any food you would feed it (during cycling or not, doesn't matter). so just let them have it for a few hours, and remove it after that. you should be doing water changes frequently, anyway, to remove toxic waste water. but feeding them the fresh fruits and veggies during cycling won't add to your workload, in my opinion.
