What eats a goldfish?

Answer 1

Goldfish are omnivores and cannibals so other larger goldfish can be predators to your smaller goldfish. Other predators are carp and koi. None swimming predators can include raccoons or house cats.

Only place goldfish into an aquarium with other similar sized goldfish. By having a deep enough and wide enough outdoor goldfish pond with a few aquatic plants living in it for your goldfish to hide in, will help them avoid becoming prey to those predators.
That all depends upon the size of the goldfish. In most cases the rule is 'if is small enough to fit in a predators mouth then that will eventually happen' It is common for people to feed goldfish to their Oscars.

Answer 2

Goldfish can eat food designs specifically for them in flake or pellet form, but they can also eat cooked de-shelled peas, cooked & finely chopped green beans, lightly cooked spinach, raw romaine lettuce, raw zucchini (but not the skin), or even some peeled, de-seeded & finely chopped orange.
