    you could its not going to hurt your goldfish but it wont be getting the same nutrients as it would with goldfish food.

    its 1000% fine my goldfish are 4 years old and have only eaten trop fish flakes .
    they seem to like trop flakes a LOT more and oranges they love em.

    Tropical fish food can be too acidic for goldfish, so stick with either vegetable matter or food formulated for goldfish. Nutrafin Max from Hagen is a nice flake for goldfish, and it’s low in ash content (meaning the vast majority of the food is actually digestable and not just filler content).

    Selecting a fish food is like selecting food for dogs, cats, and even people. Sure, you can eat a low grade food and survive (look at all the people who live on McDonald’s), but eating a high quality food specifcially for your nutritional needs is going to do you much better in the long haul than compromising for cost.

    Ya you can. I have two fish tanks and my goldfish and my clown fish eat the same fish food. Either way they can eat it.
