Meeko keeps eating these beautiful java ferns that I have! None of my other goldfish have ever paid any attention to my plants, but he'll just destroy anything I put in there! Have you ever heard of fish eating java fern? I went out and invested in these because I thought for sure they wouldnt get eaten because they taste bad. I just turned on my tank lights and the second one is almost gone. sad.gif

I think Meeko just likes salad food. My two comets like every kind of green food. I almost thing that the comets or common fish or the Shurbikins will eat them all since this is normal for them in the wild. You more fancy goldfish don't have it all the time but the comets are the stronger fish

I thought it had a bad taste and thats why fish avoid it. Do certain fish just not care?
