    Hi friends,
    I'm doing a science project and I need to know if different fish foods (please include name of brand) make goldfish (regular feeder fish) gain weight or grow faster than others? It would be super helpful if you could give me the brand of fish foods and if they made your goldfish grow faster/slower than other foods. Thank-you so much for all your help ( : !

    goldfish eat anything, I feed topfin pellets and spinach.

    The frequency of feedings probably affects growth more then the brand, assuming your only using quality brands.

    Try copped krill or shrimp for fast growth and brine shrimp for slower growth. but thats really just guessing. It really depends on how often and how much you feed.

    Well considering on your question I would like to mention if the food has is good food for them they will grow faster for sure, it’s like if you ate bread for a year or a lot of different foods, simple as that.
