I went to my local pet store the other day and found the same situation. They had three large tadpoles mixe din with feeder goldfish, and they weren't growing because the water is too cold. I took them home and identified them as Bullfrog tadpoles. These guys can stay in a tadpole stage for up to three years in cold weather, or as short as three months in tropical weather. They are huge, averaging anywhere from 1.2 - 1.7 pounds!
a goldfish is a feeder fish. I kind of disagree with the answer above. Yes, goldfish CAN be feeder fish, but they aren't necessarily feeder fish. Feeder fish are really fish that are rather small and are fed to other animals, and that are for some reason thought as not being as precious as other "pet" fish. So a feeder fish and a pet fish are two different kinds of fish, really. Not all goldfish are feeder fish. There are expensive goldfish, more than 10 dollars per fish! Then there are those goldfish breeded to be eaten that are sold as 75 cents per fish. So there are "pet" goldfish and "feeder" goldfish. So, a goldfish is not necessarily a feeder fish.
Goldfish on a normal basis are commonly infected with parasites. Although edible, they contain little to no nutritional value and are not a good feeder for bearded dragons or turtles. Insects commonly consumed by bearded dragons are crickets, superworms, roaches, silkworms, hornworms, and (locusts (typically in the UK))
feeder goldfish you can also use minnows but feeder goldfish are better because they are bigger they are about 30 cents each

No. They are even sold as "feeder" fish.
Goldfish. They are "feeder" fish for them.
Only if the "feeder Goldfish" - which is usually just a mutt bred Common/Comet Goldfish, is very small and the Telescope is an adult. If it fits in their mouth, that's where it will end up! However, "feeder" Goldfish have the potential to get over 10"-12" excluding tail fin, and a large one of these could very easily fatally injure a more fragile fancy Telescope Goldfish. The two varieties should never be mixed.
Not neccessarilly all feeder fish are goldfish. Feeder fish are usually those fairly small fish that are regarded as being not suitable for sale as specimens for some reason. They often are poorly coloured or deformed livebearers and other species too. Yes, I agree with the answer above. I am sad to see the feeder goldfish they sell in such terrible conditions! My fancy goldfish were almost 10 dollars each, and the feeder goldfish were 75 cents!
yes as in goldfish and minnows
Feeder fish are different to gold fish. Goldfish can actually live for up to 50 years!
Comet goldfish- they're the most common because they're "feeder fish." Comets also get most deceases.
It depends. A feeder goldfish lives to be about 2 years old. A fancy goldfish, (Black Moors, Fantails, etc...) can live to twenty years or more with proper care.
