Commercial goldfish food -- available as flakes, pellets and granules -- contain all the nutrients goldfish need, and should form the major part of their diets. Overfeeding goldfish allows uneaten food to decay and contaminate aquarium water. Goldfish feces is another contaminant.
Goldfish particularly consume naturally occurring carp food in the wild like insects, tadpoles. Apart from this, they also eat frogs, spawn, and tadpoles. Since they are bred from wild carps, they are omnivores and eat aquatic plants, algae, smaller fish, and, other smaller water creatures.
