Small goldfish can eat a variety of foods, including fish food, vegetables, and insects. If you don’t have specialized goldfish food at home, you can try the following alternative foods:
1. Vegetables: Chop some fresh vegetables, such as carrots, peas, spinach or lettuce, and feed them to your goldfish. Make sure to cut the vegetables into small pieces so that the goldfish can easily swallow them.
2. Fruit: Some fruits, such as apples, oranges or watermelon, can also provide some nutrients to goldfish. Make sure to cut the fruit into small pieces to prevent your goldfish from swallowing overly large pieces.
3. Insects: If you have insects, such as earthworms or grasshoppers, offer your goldfish some live insects as food. Make sure the insects are clean and non-venomous.
4. Boiled eggs: Boil eggs, peel them and chop them into small pieces, which can be used as temporary food for goldfish.
Keep in mind that these alternative foods are only temporary solutions and it is best to purchase specialized goldfish feed to ensure your goldfish is receiving balanced nutrition. At the same time, changing the water regularly and keeping the water clean are also important factors in keeping your goldfish healthy.
