Product Information
Full details
Vitalis Goldfish Pellets are designed for goldfish keepers who want a complete, high-quality nutritional solution that supports the health and vibrancy of all goldfish varieties. By providing a soft, sinking pellet that mimics natural foraging, this feed promotes healthy feeding behaviors in coldwater aquariums; however, users should be careful to avoid overfeeding, as excess pellets can affect water quality if left to decompose.

FAQs
Are these pellets suitable for all goldfish breeds?
Yes, they are designed to meet the nutritional requirements of all common goldfish varieties.
How often should I feed my goldfish?
Generally, feeding 1-2 times per day is sufficient. Always feed only what the fish can consume in 2 minutes.
Do these pellets float?
No, these are formulated as sinking pellets to encourage natural foraging behavior.
Can I use this for tropical fish?
While it won't harm them, this formula is specifically balanced for the nutritional needs of coldwater goldfish.
How long will a 140g container last?
This depends on the number and size of your fish, but as a staple feed, it provides a long-lasting supply for the average home aquarium.
Troubleshooting
Fish are not eating the pellets immediately
Goldfish may need time to adjust to new food. Try offering smaller amounts and ensure the food lands near their typical foraging areas.
Pellets becoming hard or dry
Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly after every use to prevent moisture loss and exposure to air.
Water appears cloudy after feeding
This is a sign of overfeeding. Reduce the portion size and remove any uneaten pellets within 2-3 minutes of feeding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the product, always keep the lid tightly sealed after every use to preserve the soft texture of the pellets. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Compatibility is focused on all goldfish varieties (Carassius auratus), including fancy breeds. For best results, use these pellets as a staple diet, though it is often beneficial to supplement with occasional fresh vegetables like blanched peas to support digestive health.
