Since goldfish are omnivores, there is a large variety of different foods you can feed them. To name a few there is the option of brine shrimp, krill, bloodworms, daphnia, tubifex worms, peas, watermelon, squash, Oranges, cucumbers, duckweed, and elodea. Please note that it is very important to also feed your goldfish a fortified goldfish food of flakes, pellets, or both.
Top 3 Feeding Problems
Here are the most common problems: overfeeding, feeding only flakes, not cleaning your tank of food.
Overfeeding is the most common problem beginners have. You should know that there is no such thing as underfeeding. People feed their fish too much because they love them. If you love your fish that does not mean you have to give it a lot of food.
Feeding goldfish no more than they can eat in 2 minutes once a day is the healthy way. They do not need more food than that. Do not be fooled because they can eat large amounts in a short period of time.
The next step is to feed your goldfish a varied diet. As a beginner you tend to go for what is best on the market, goldfish flakes. You simply cannot get all the food groups and nutrition in one set of flakes. They contain little or no fiber which can cause constipation. You can feed your fish flakes from time to time, but your goldfish thrives on household foods.
Another important thing you need to keep in mind is to always clean your tank of uneaten food. If you do not do this, ammonia levels will start rising and this will make your water toxic.
Household Foods
Fresh fruit and vegetables are the healthiest food for goldfish. Feeding goldfish this kind of food daily will make them feel better, live longer and have bright colors. Goldfish love brine shrimp, daphnia and blood worms. These give your fish a balanced diet and provide a variety of vitamins, fibers, minerals and everything your goldfish needs.
Here are some household foods you should feed your goldfish: peas, spinach, zucchini, boiled Rice, pieces of orange, carrots, cucumbers, beans, corn, lettuce, grapes. You should cut them into small pieces so that your fish do not have digestion problems.
Make Your Own Recipes
If you like to cook then you can make your own recipes to feed your goldfish. Gelatin will bind the foods you make and it is high in protein. Making a tasty and well-balanced food is a lot of fun and keeps your goldfish happy.

The person above me is just messing with you. Well yea...Goldfish do like goldfish food, but sinking goldfish pellets are best cuz flake can cause the goldfish to gulp air wich can create many problems.
