Goldfish food for tropical fish

Hi there

I had some goldfish a while back and now got a Tropical tank and now I got some food left over. I just wanted to know if it would be safe to feed my tropical fish Goldfish food? I have half a bottle of standard "Tetra Goldfish food" and a full bottle of "TetraFin Gold Japan" sinking pellets. I have mollies, red tetra, red eye tetra, leopard danios a pleco and a Kuhli Loach. I just want to know if it is safe to feed them this food, especially the pellets as they where expensive and I don't want to just throw it away.

Thanks :bigsmile:

 

I have no idea but i ofted feed my guppies some of my goldfishflakes. i would say theres no harm but rather trust someone that had done research before trusting me :hmmmm2:

 

They should be fine. Just keep an eye out for any strange behavior and remember water changes. Goldfish food, if I remember correctly, has a lot of protein when compared to tropical flakes.

 

I did some searching on the internet and it turns out that it is ok to feed Tropical fish Goldfish food, although it is not recommended to do it for a long time. The pellets was what I was was worried about though as they sink to the bottom and if not eaten can cloud the water. anyway just looked at the expiry date of the food and its a year over so might as well throw it away, thanks for the the help though

 

Never had a problem with it.... basic ingredients are the same.... I do it. (a lot cheaper) and I see no difference in results (ultimately)..... Will however not deviate from Tropical Tetramin for the more delicate species.....

 

The food has expired for over a year already, so I just have to throw it away anyway but good to know that its ok to feed them goldfish food :blink1:

 

I am not even put off by expiry dates..... By accident, I ordered 6kg's of flakes which was (obviously) too much, but I fed the fish to the last flake..... the fish was happy and I was happy......

 

How long did it take?.

 

OMW 6kg will take me like 10years lol

 

While we on the subject of food, what brand of food does every one feed their tropical fish. The reason I am asking is, on some of the american fish forums they say that Tetra fish food is bad quality.
