Sera Goldy Flakes

Sera Goldy Flakes

Sera Goldy Flakes is a goldfish flake food and complete staple diet for smaller goldfish and fancy breeds such as shubunkin, veiltail and sarasa, as well as other coldwater fish. Its easily digestible flakes balance plant and animal ingredients, including 5% insect meal, to support healthy growth and good colour. It suits South African fishkeepers who want a dye-free, preservative-free daily food for a garden pond or coldwater aquarium.

Key Benefits

• Complete staple food: Formulated as a complete feed for all goldfish and designed as the everyday main diet for smaller goldfish and their fancy variety breeds.
• Easily digestible: A balanced ratio of herbal and animal ingredients makes the flakes easy to digest, which helps maintain health and colour.
• Supports growth and colour: The recipe promotes healthy growth and colour development, helping goldfish keep their characteristic colouring.
• 5% insect meal protein: Contains insect meal (Hermetia illucens) as a high-quality, sustainable protein source that uses fewer resources.
• Flakes hold their shape: The flakes stay intact in the water and do not cloud it, which helps keep your pond or tank clear at feeding time.
• Made for surface feeders: The flakes suit coldwater fish that take their food at the surface.
• No dyes or preservatives: Part of the sera "Nature" range, so it is made without dyes or preservatives.
• Varied, nature-inspired recipe: Contains fish meal, gammarus, green-lipped mussel, whole egg, spirulina, sea algae, Haematococcus algae and a selection of vegetables, herbs and seeds.

How to Use

Goldfish need a varied diet that matches their natural requirements, and they have an unusual digestive system. They have no true stomach, only a stomach-like section of the intestine, so they never feel full. Because these omnivores are always looking for food, they are easy to overfeed.

To avoid overfeeding, give small portions of easily digestible food several times a day. The food should contain proteins and carbohydrates that the fish can use easily. Sera Goldy Flakes is designed to meet the nutritional needs of these coldwater fish. Scatter the flakes on the water surface and watch your fish eat. Remove any uneaten food so it does not affect water quality.

Dosage

• Feed once or twice daily throughout the year.
• Offer only as much as the fish eat within a short time.
• Keep portions small. Goldfish never feel full, so their eagerness to feed is not a reliable sign that they are hungry.

Suitable For

• Smaller goldfish
• Fancy goldfish breeds, including shubunkin, veiltail and sarasa
• Other coldwater fish that feed at the water surface
• Pond and coldwater aquarium keepers looking for a dye-free, preservative-free staple food
