Intro
Welcome to Burt's website. This site is not intended to be a serious essay on goldfish keeping, but a little bit of fun, to show that Goldfish make great, intelligent, interactive pets, who should be treated with love and respect!
Goldfish like most animals thrive on a varied diet, and they love little extras, especially fruit and veg. As Goldfish don't have a stomach, but a long digestive tract, it is possible to overfeed them, so only ever find tiny amounts. You should always peel and deseed fruit, giving your fish the squishy pulpy parts.
Many goldfish enjoy their greens, but unfortunately Burt has a sweet tooth and likes his fruit, broccoli is a favourite of many fish, but not Mr Burt, who refuses to eat it! He does however love his peas, peas are a special food for goldfish as they help prevent
swimbladder problems by acting as a laxative - it's a good idea to give your goldfish a pea a week to help prevent these problems.
You should also feed a good sinking pellet food - Burt gets Fish Sempai Pro Gold from Canada (see links) but you can buy food from your pet specialist or ebay.
So how do I know which foods are Burt's favourites? Well it's a guess really, but I have noticed that the things he seems to like the most he sucks the fastest!
