(I generally caution fish keepers to stay away from live food (frozen and freeze-dried included) like frozen brine shrimp, plankton, blood worms, daphnia, beef heart, or freeze dried tubifex worms due to the possible introduction of harmful bacteria and parasites.)

Pellets and flakes (presoaked) formulated for goldfish are perfect to ensure a properly balanced diet, with occasional treats of zucchini, peeled peas, spinach, and lettuce. Give these omnivores some variety, but limit protein to 30% of the diet. (See Illness Signs for more information.)īlack Moors are omnivorous (plant and animals).
