Question
i got a new goldfish yesterday and when i feed him he doesnt eat a lot of it. the food he does eat he either lets it float to the bottom and eats it or eats while its falling. shouls i be concerned that he isnt eating a lot?

Answer
Hi Matt,
 Actually I am amazed that he is eating at all..  most fish take several days or a week or more to get used to a new tank, before they start eating.  Give him time...
