Blanch the zucchini so it will sink. Broccoli is something else they like when I first get an oto I feed them a little blanched broccoli everyday for a few days since they have been through so much before they are sold.

Thanks guys I'll try different foods like zucchini and stuff.Could I try fresh fruit?

I just read that you can feed your fish the boiled stems of broccoli, brussel sprouts, lettuce (not iceberg), boiled rice (really? lol), leafy spinach, bits of potatoe's, squash, bean, apple (without the peel or seeds).
Every time I type in fruit, it tells me fruit flies lol.

I know goldfish like oranges, I don't see why it would hurt to try fruits.

that right there is peaches. its not uncommon to take some time before they figure out its food. try not feeding for 2-3 days then add the zucchini.

yes you can. i have done grapes peaches just remember with fruit there is a lot of surge so try not to feed too much it might cloud the water a little.
