Aloa everyone! this is my first post here on your forum. I have three goldfish that are almost a year old (actually I have had them a year i'm not sure how old they really are) Anyway they are getting to be pretty large and I'm not sure how much to feed them these days and I'm not sure what kind of food these big guys should be eating. Currently I feed them TetraFin goldfish flakes half of the time and Tetra Exotic sinking mini sticks the other half.

I kinda feel like i'm dumping a lot of food in at once though just to keep them fed. but at the same time my water is clouding quicker these days and not completely clearing up. The flake directions say to feed them as much as they can consume in a couple of minutes. I'm pretty sure they could eat half the can in a couple of minutes. Is there an easier type of food that larger goldfish should be eating.

Lastly I know my aquarium is too small these days and am going to get a bigger one next week but could that be the reason my water is staying too cloudy?

I'll post some pictures of the monsters later.

Brandon
