about fancy tail gold fish

Question
Hi my name is Sharon, I would like to know if I can give my fish pea's once a week to hopefully stop them from getting swim bladder.  I just lost my very pretty Oranda fish . I had her for abouy 2 your's.

Answer
Hi Sharon,
Yes, this is very important, and will help your fish clean out their system, and avoid Swim Bladder Disease.  SBD is often noticed too late, and sometimes if not caught in time, is impossible to cure, so prevention is the best way to go.  Feed them cooked frozen peas with the outer layer removed one day a week, and on that day, feed them nothing else.  
I'm sorry you lost your pretty Oranda, as I know the feeling of losing pet fish that we grow to love so much.
