Not sure about goldfish but perch are semi carniverous(like a goldfish but with spikes on the back)and a cut out of one featured on my car windscreen in the late 70's.Do you remember? Buddha PS congrats on winning the competition.
Got this a bit late, but Goldfish eat Goldfish food. Me being silly, albeit true. Most fish shops sells daphnia (water fleas) n my tropical fish, including a goldfish, devour them and bloodworm. It's entertaining, too - all that wriggling n jumping (talkin about the fish!).
So there is a little taste for blood in their fishy world; that's handy to know.
I like the vision of them all thrashing about - wouldn't want to be in the tank or pool with them. Wouldn't want someone else to accidentally fall in either... not really... ?
Cats - ha! My eponymous cat is too silly and definitely too slow to catch a goldfish, so it might well be that, should she find herself near a tank, the fish would leap up, suck her in with those great big, hoover-like mouths and gobble her up instead.
I've done a little researching for you and things.
ReplyDeleteGoldfish *can* eat meat as well as other food such as lettuce and peas, but normal fish food is what they eat.
Not sure if that helped....

Thanks Pixie.
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering how carniverous they are...
