No, tropical fish live in a different region then goldfish and therefore need different food. Tropical fish live in the tropics (howls of amazement) and goldfish live in cold and temperate areas.

∙ 13y agoYes, fish are used to living in the ocean or some other body of water where food is scarce so they will eat anything that you put in the water even if it is bad for them so they will definitely eat goldfish food. You can feed them goldfish flakes, pellets, or any other fish food.

∙ 13y agoYes, I keep both guppies and goldfish in my aquarium. I feed them both tropical or goldfish flakes. They will eat them both! Goldfish will usually consume any fish food.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo, that is a bad idea waiting to happen, goldfish are cold water fish; guppies are warm water fish. You cannot mix the two without causing their health to deteriorate. Also they have different nutrient requirements and mixing the two would make feeding them different diets very hard if not impossible. Lastly since guppies are so much smaller than goldfish they are in danger of being bullied/stressed out because of the goldfish.

∙ 14y agoGoldfish will eat guppy food but it is not the correct food for them. Goldfish food is for goldfish and Guppy food is for guppies. Isn't that amazing? I am always baffled by people who want to feed the wrong food to creatures when the correct food is readily available. It makes no sense whatsoever.

∙ 14y agoNo. Some fish are vegetarians, others are insectivores, and still others are carnivores. The goldfish is an omnivore and so the commercially available food is specifically made for them

Can you feed a clown fish goldfish food?
What kind of goldfish food? If it's fish flakes then definitely! I'm pretty sure you can feed any fish any fish food as long as it's not too big for the fish to actually eat or spiked with poison;)
What does a goldfish eat but that is not fish food?
Goldfish are omnivores, and they can eat lots of vegetables (but don't try feeding them any fruits...I never tried....but wouldn't it be weird to feed goldfish a mango or a peach?). Fish food is all protein, usually, and eating only fish food usually helps constipation happen to your poor goldfish. Imagine humans eating only meat! So I always feed my goldfish pieces of lettuce and the insides of cooked frozen peas. They make my fish healthier. Though I have never tried, some goldfish owners feed their goldfish live food, like those tiny shrimps. It is healthier for your goldfish to eat a wide variety of good, not only fish food.

No. But goldfish can eat tropical fish food, like bettas can. Do not feed goldfish any food that is for betta fish only.They can, but shouldn't there isn't enough nutrients in the food to keep goldfish healthy. Try flakes or pellets made specifically for goldfish.Not particularly only if the fighting fish is territorial, if so, quickly take the fighting fish out of the tank

Meat Loaf, Gravy, and potatoes. -Ok, seriously. Most any gold fish does good on dried up bread crumbs that will do fine.

It is possible, but whether or not it should be done is another question. Some fish will eat them. Mine haven't shown any ill effects from eating some fruit fly larvae occasionally. However, some people are concerned about them polluting the water quality or passing along diseases to the fish.

Goldfish may only appear to eat fish food but technically they are eating other animals because inside fish food is a rare animal named the bbanornet which gives protein to small fish such as the goldfish.

What is Tropical fish flakes?
Tropical fish flakes tend to have more/different contents because they are designed to feed several different species of fish that require a varied diet. Goldfish food is designed for just one species of fish. Since there are both Goldfish food and Tropical food available it is common sense to feed the fish the correct and appropriate foods. The answer therefore is they can and may eat them but they are not the right food for them so eventually the fish will suffer.
How often should you feed a black moor goldfish?
