How long should I feed my goldfish peas for swim bladder?
You definitely did the right thing, giving your fish peas after diagnosing him with swim bladder… Absolutely, peas should be part of your fish’s regular diet. It will provide them with balance and variety. Humans need to eat vegetables, and so do fish! So, peas every few days would do your fish good, to help clear the system of any accumulated materials. However, when you feed your fish peas, you decrease alkalinity of the water and so it becomes acidic – perfect for fungus and and other parasites. So make sure that you continue to do your regular water changes, maybe on the days that you feed your fish peas, to make sure that you aren’t putting them at risk of being attacked by nasty parasites. If you don’t already, it would be a good idea to purchase a water testing kit. Testing for pH is testing the alkalinity and acidity of the water. In an ideal tank, the pH should be around about 7.0 which is neutral.
