a goldfish is a feeder fish.
I kind of disagree with the answer above. Yes, goldfish CAN be feeder fish, but they aren't necessarily feeder fish. Feeder fish are really fish that are rather small and are fed to other animals, and that are for some reason thought as not being as precious as other "pet" fish. So a feeder fish and a pet fish are two different kinds of fish, really. Not all goldfish are feeder fish. There are expensive goldfish, more than 10 dollars per fish! Then there are those goldfish breeded to be eaten that are sold as 75 cents per fish. So there are "pet" goldfish and "feeder" goldfish. So, a goldfish is not necessarily a feeder fish.
Goldfish. They are "feeder" fish for them.
feeder goldfish you can also use minnows but feeder goldfish are better because they are bigger they are about 30 cents each
No. They are even sold as "feeder" fish.
Feeder fish are different to gold fish. Goldfish can actually live for up to 50 years!
yes as in goldfish and minnows
Not neccessarilly all feeder fish are goldfish. Feeder fish are usually those fairly small fish that are regarded as being not suitable for sale as specimens for some reason. They often are poorly coloured or deformed livebearers and other species too. Yes, I agree with the answer above. I am sad to see the feeder goldfish they sell in such terrible conditions! My fancy goldfish were almost 10 dollars each, and the feeder goldfish were 75 cents!
They should be provided with goldfish or pond food instead
Many different species of fish are used as 'feeder fish'. Some are egg layers and some are livebearers. If you say what the species is you will probably get an accurate answer.
Yes. Feeder fish just like all goldfish grow depending on the size of their environment. I once had a feeder fish in a 50 gallon tank that was 8/9 inches long when it passed at the age of 7.
Comet goldfish- they're the most common because they're "feeder fish." Comets also get most deceases.
be careful the cat fish doesn't eat the goldfish if you have any and feed it feeder fish fish flakes or maybe even fiddler crabs. my catfish ate them
It is a parasite. Feeder goldfish often have parasites, and if you have one that survives, then these lumpy areas often appear as the fish gets larger.
