Does anyone know of a gluten-free fish food? I haven't been able to find one yet.

I don't think there is. You can make your own and use veggies here and there. The possibilities are endless, really.

I fed my (now deceased) fish dried blood worms.

I just use the fish food in a plastic container and sprinkle it directly in the tank, wash my hands and wear rubber gloves when I change the tank.

Thanks for the info. We had a tank a few years ago and it was really more trouble than it was worth (mostly because I was the one cleaning it!) so I really only want a beta for the kitchen counter. I laughed when I was reading the fish food ingredients because the main ingredient was wheat (high gluten) and I pictured a fish sitting in the water going now where's all that yummy nutritious wheat! Talk about something fish weren't designed to eat!

My fish food isn't gluten-free but it comes in a nice handy shaker and is in pellet form, so it doesn't get all over the place and I don't have to ever touch it. Also, wheat isn't the top ingredient (but it's in there). It's Top Fin Color Enhancing Betta Bits. I initially got it when I had bettas, but they died, so after consulting with the fish store to make sure it's ok, I feed it to the rest of my fish. They clearly prefer it over the flaked food.

I just started feeding my fish dried brine shrimp and thin paper sheets of seaweed. I found them both at the pet store. All of the flake food I have seen contains wheat and soy protein.

Brine Shrimp is fine. You can get it either dry or frozen. I prefer the dry cubes and I break them up in the fish food container so my son can feed his fish. The brine shrimp is a bit more expensive than the wheat/gluten filled flakes but it's better for your fish and you don't have to worry about inhaling any of the gluten filled flake foods.

I realize that this is an old thread, but has anybody successfully fed brine shrimp to their goldfish?

I used things like brine shrimp and blood worms and it worked fine.  I got rid of the tank recently.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
