What pellet sizes can i feed my goldfish according to their size/length? Is there a particular size i should feed goldfish of a certain length? Will the goldfish take time to get used to a bigger size pellet?

I normally soaked them up to make them to soften a bit. Size really doesn't matter for fish of half an inch size and above. They would just bite it off.
I prefer Saki Hikari. Because it is denser and has less air in the pallets than the Hikari Lionhead. This post has been edited by judge: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 9:41 am |

QUOTE(nizon @ Sun, 17 Jan 2010 11:26 am) How long do you soak to soften it? Thanks. A bout a minute. Depending on the pallet. If its saki hikari or hikari lionhead about a minute. Some floating type pallets do take longer like hikari oranda and hikari spirulina. For those floating types soak them once they are soft gently squeeze them to make the air come out and sunk to the bottom. Then feed your fish. You can alway test squeeze the pallet to see if its soften up.. and adjust your time. With practice you can tell how long it takes for each type of pallet in a short time. |
