FAQs
Are Vitalis Goldfish Flakes suitable for all goldfish varieties?
Yes, the flakes are formulated to support all goldfish varieties, including fancy and common types.
How often should I feed my goldfish with these flakes?
Feed 2-3 times daily, providing only an amount your fish can consume within 2-3 minutes.
Can I crush the flakes for smaller fish?
Absolutely. The large flake size is intentional for feeding flexibility; crush them to suit the size of your fish.
What is the main benefit of using these flakes?
The flakes provide a balanced diet that supports good health and helps maintain vibrant colouration in goldfish.
How should I store the Vitalis Goldfish Flakes?
Store the container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure it is tightly sealed after use.
Do these flakes affect water quality?
When fed in appropriate amounts and with adequate filtration, these flakes should not negatively impact water quality. Overfeeding can lead to water issues.
Troubleshooting
Fish not eating the flakes
Ensure flakes are not too large for your fish; try crushing them. Check that you are not overfeeding and that water quality is optimal. Some fish may need a few days to adapt to new food.
Flakes floating excessively or not sinking
Vitalis Goldfish Flakes are designed to be easily consumed at the surface. If they are not being eaten promptly, reduce the amount fed. Ensure they are fresh and properly stored.
Water clarity decreasing after feeding
This can indicate overfeeding. Feed only what your fish can consume in 2-3 minutes. Remove any uneaten food promptly. Ensure your aquarium filtration is adequate.
