Answer
Hi Joan,
I'm quite certain that goldfish could eat seaweed in small amounts on occasion. I know they also enjoy green peas, Zucchini, Lettuce, Spinach, and even Oranges! Sometimes they also like nibbling on inexpensive Anacharis plants. Algae wafers and Spirulina are also a good way to supplement their diet with vegetable matter in a simple way.

Seaweed is actually sold in packages meant for aquarium fish usually labeled for goldfish. I'm not sure if its the same as the seaweed used for sushi. ;-) Its a great vegetable supplement for the highly herbivorous goldfish! It sometimes comes in a dried form as well.

Best wishes and I hope this helps!
