The other day I was feeding some raspberries/blackberries to my box turtles. I decided to break some up and see if the goldfish liked them. Well, they did -- gobbled them up. Then it occured to me to wonder if their digestive system can handle the tiny little seeds? Don't need a bunch of constipated goldfish!:X3:

To be truthful Maggie in the wild they would eat anything that drops into the pond so I cant really see this being a problem th seeds are minute they should pass straight through the goldfish and not be a problem in that the fish would become constipated.
Just feed as a treat from time to time during the summer/fall.:happy:
