I have a 30 gallon tank and have 2 Fantails. One is 4-inches long and the other is 6-inches long. I've always wondered what size sinking pellet food should I feed them? Does it matter?
Also, would it be o.k. to buy another small Fantail for the tank?:fish-in-bowl:

You're kind of at the stocking level now with 2 in your 30 gallon. You'll have a lot less headache if you don't add another fish until you get a bigger tank; fewer water changes and less bacterial infection, etc. It's just a lot easier and healthier for your fish. You'll get a larger tank sometime and then you can get more fish.

Be careful with pellets. They're very dry, even if you wet them first (they stay dry in the middle) and can constipate your goldfish, making them act like they have a swim bladder disorder. I stick to gel food, peas, flakes (moistened in the tank water before released), brine shrimp and veggies. Just my two cents.

Thanks for the info. I don't want to go to a bigger tank so I'll just stick with the two Fantails I have. I bought the ingredients to make some gel food today. I think I'll try that for a start. I don't want to make too many changes in their diet right away.
