Hey guys!

I love ProGold but I can't afford the shipping anymore. I tried Omega One but I am convinced that it clouded my water(if anyone wants what I have, let me know).

So what else so you guys use for pellets?

i use hikari lionhead. i assume its good.

I have been using the Omega One pellets for about 5 months now and have had no trouble with clouding water. I actually switched because the Tetrafin crisps I was using turned my water pink, lol! However, my fish are super pigs and never leave any food behind, so maybe that makes a difference? I do notice more crud in the one tank that has gravel than i did when I used the Tetrafin crisps, but I have also noticed the colors in my commons and comets becoming more pronounced, although I am not sure if it is related to the new food or not.

Good luck finding something that works, and a quick hi since I haven't chatted with you lately!

I know it's been mentioned before, but that "Saki-Hikari Fancy Goldfish" is an awesome sinking pellet. My goldfish love it, I'm starting to think they love it more than frozen bloodworms!

Watch out, 'cause there is a "Hikari Saki" food for Koi that is readily available in the US. This Saki-Kingyo is hard to find, but it is available.

GlassGoldfish - does the Saki-Hikari Fancy Goldfish pellets you mentioned work well for your floaty fish? Just wondering if it is worth a try for Freckles. He is ok on Wardleys shrimp pellets, bloodworms (loves these) and small amounts of zucchini but can't tolerate progold, omega one pellets, peas hbh spirulina pellets, etc. What do you think - is it possible to predict?

sea- hmmmm, I don't know. I had floaty problems with some ranchus, then I got them all fixed with those daphnia, now they're eating this Saki stuff 3x/day and doing really, really well. So for them, yes it works good. My concern would be that poor Freckles, being extra sensitive, could have a problem with most any manufactured food, and this Saki food might be kinda expensive for experimenting. Maybe there is a smaller package than the 1kg?

i use wardly pellets, and omega one

Whoa, I didn't catch the part about 1kg and the part about being expensive I already have so much leftover food that Freckles can't eat (progold, hbh spirulina, omega one, etc.) that I think I better hold off on this one for now. Nugget would love all this stuff but it is hard to give it to him without Freckles getting it. Freckles is very friendly and is always around when food is available while Nugget is a little more discrete

This weekend I was going to try that Formula One gel food which I already purchased. I'll let you know how it goes . . .

Unfortunately, we can't readily get ProGold or Omega One in the UK, although I've heard great things about those brands.

I'm a big Hikari fan. Personally, I think it is pretty much the best high quality food we can get in the UK for goldfish. Recent import problems seem to be resolving so it is more readily available again now as well.

I use Hikari Lionhead sinking pellets, my fish love them!

Thank you everyone for the input! I have used the Wardley ones once but they float and I dont care for that brand.

sea ~ Let me know how the gel food is. I didnt know they sold such a thing!

i use wardley slow sinking goldfish crumbles.
i also use wardley total spetramax goldfish flakes. < this is the ultimate stuff.

I purchased some Tetra sinking mini sticks today. The fish seem to like them and best of all they sink. Would like if they were a bit bigger but for now I think they're what Im looking for.

I am very happy with Hikari Lionhead. I also use their frozen Brine scrimp and Blood Worms.
