It is better for goldfish to eat food such as water fleas, nematodes, and blood worms.

Goldfish evolved from golden crucian carp and still maintain the instinct of eating natural live food. Water fleas, nematodes, blood red worms, etc. are all goldfish’s favorites. These live foods are naturally high in protein and are very beneficial to the growth of goldfish.

Goldfish feed cannot all be live food. Nowadays, all goldfish are domesticated, so it is impossible for them to have live food every day. Pair it with some food you have at home, such as noodles, rice grains, vegetables and some processed lean meat. Although the nutritional value of these goldfish feeds is not as good as live food, it is also nutritious when paired with live food. Therefore, many people learn to make their own goldfish feed.
