Will Goldfish eat the plants?

[dogartist]

Is it true Goldfish will eat live plants...

 

[jsoong]

Yes. But they generally prefer soft, tender ones, so it is possible to keep goldies in a planted tank.

Try these for goldie safe plants:

Mine did not do any research. So they eat every one, or at lest rip it apart. Just my little guys any ways.

LOL lreilly - our pets manage to make us look real silly a lot of times. . .

Yes, they sure will. And as previuosly stated, they like the succulent tender juicy one the most. as they get get larger (the Goldies) they will sometimes uproot and even tear up those they can't eat in their neverending search for food.
