Fishes
There is so much contradiction on the internet as to what goldfish need in a diet. I mean, direct contradiction! I don't know WTF they need; I know they are omnivores and will eat everything in their path.
I tried cooking some carrots for them today and they ate only a tiny little bit.
One thing is for sure: if these goldfish don't start being friendly very soon, they are off to a new home. I am tired of Al trying to bite me all the time- he didn't do that before the goldfish. If I send the adults off to a new home, I will keep the small yellow-ish guy and get him a few small comets as companions. The smallest fish is actually the tamest of the bunch, and apparently the smartest- he has the sense to come near the surface when I start feeding Al. Being a small fish, he takes up less space than the adults and makes less waste, and for some reason Al is not eating him, although I have seen Al chase the little guy a few times.
The mfish have become super-aggressive at feeding time, I think because the goldies are competing with them for food. I caught several small mfish this afternoon to give them to one of the turtle list people. They sure were jumpy! I love my little fishes. I wish we had room to have a little aquarium to keep some in, they are so fun to observe.
