Insectivore Goldfish Flake Food
Insect protein for brighter, more active goldfish. Insectivore Goldfish Flake Food is built on mealworm meal, black soldier fly larvae and herring meal rather than a heavily grain-based mix, giving goldfish and other coldwater fish a digestible flake that leaves less waste to cloud the water. Available in 20 g, 50 g, 100 g and 200 g packs.
Key features
- Insect meal and herring meal lead the ingredient list – a more natural protein source than a grain-first flake
- Formulated for goldfish and coldwater species – not a repurposed tropical flake
- Digestible formula – less undigested waste passing through means cleaner water between cleans
- Carrot and spirulina included – plant matter alongside the animal protein
- Four pack sizes – 20 g trial size up to 200 g for a full pond or tank of goldfish

Feeding directions
Feed once or twice daily, offering only as much as fish can consume within a few minutes. Remove any uneaten flake to protect water quality, and avoid overfeeding – goldfish will keep eating past what they need. Store the pack in a cool, dry place.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suits goldfish, fancy goldfish and other coldwater aquarium fish. Not formulated for tropical or marine species – use a tropical flake such as Insectivore Betta Insect Flakes for a heated community tank.
Storage
Store sealed, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Goes well with
Pairs with Insectivore Algae Wafer where goldfish share a tank with plecos or other grazers, and with Insectivore Bottom Tablets for any bottom-dwelling coldwater species in the same setup.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by the consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law in addition to any manufacturer undertakings. Ships as a standard, ambient dry good with no special freight handling required.
Common questions
Is this suitable for a goldfish pond as well as a tank?
Yes, for pond goldfish it works the same way – feed only what's cleared in a few minutes so leftover flake doesn't foul the water.
Why insect meal instead of a plant-based flake?
Insect meal is closer to what goldfish eat naturally and digests more completely than heavily grain-based flakes, which is what keeps waste and water clouding down.
Can I feed this to tropical fish in the same tank?
It's formulated for coldwater fish specifically; a tropical community is better served by a tropical flake such as Insectivore Betta Insect Flakes.
Which pack size should I buy?
The 20 g pack suits a single goldfish or a trial; 50 g to 200 g work out cheaper per gram for a pond or a tank with several goldfish fed daily.
