My new Fantail Goldfish

Hi all,

Finally made it to the world of the indoor fish keeper; I purchased a
biorb 30 litre, and a new Fantail Goldfish. 24 hours later, and the
fish seems to be happy, swiming around.

One question though, how many pellets should I fed it? One book say
3-4 once a day, another 3 times a day. So far I've feed it 4 pellets
once a day which have been eaten. Anyone else out there in the same
situation?

Companies that sell consumable goods always overstate how much you need
to up their profits. This isn't a big deal when they're selling, say,
toothpaste, but when it comes to a living animal it's despicable.

It's not clear how big your pellets are, but if a pellet is a mouthful
then four per day is about right. Overfeeding is a lot more dangerous
than underfeeding.
