goldfish

It is up to you but my vote is no. there are still good treats like lettuce and other greens and you don't have to spend money on wormers and other preventative treatments.

(still a good idea to worm them every now and then tho-)

I give my ornametal minnows every week (5-10 dozen for 100+ birds) but then again I have divers who love them and they need the extra protien.. I personally would go with minnows over goldfish...

Goldfish are just a carp and not sure if htey will get anything out of them!

Here's a video of my ducks going to TOWN on a whole bunch of goldfish- It's good protein and calcium for them-

petsmart and walmart sell feeder fish... Petsmarts are like 13 cents each

Ask around, I'll bet there is a bait store near you. Gander Mountain carries live bait. Just make sure you get the really small ones! I've seen some "minnows" that would tug a line pretty good

I feed mine rosy minnows and goldfish. I get the feeders from a local pet store. No problems and happy ducks

Chasing those fish is good exercise!

We have a 75 gallon fish tank full of swordtails, rosie minnows, guppies etc.. It's set up real pretty, but those fish have babies constantly. So every so often we dip out a a bunch and and put them in the pools. I LOVE to watch the ducks dive and chase 'em and the ducks have a blast!
