Anyone know if it exists and where I can get Kosher L'pesach fish food.

Or if not what have you done with your goldfish over Pesach?

There's a certain type of fish food to get them. I don't remember what exactly but my brother used to buy it for his goldfish. It didn't have a hechsher and it smelled really, really bad.


I googled and found that Star K reccomends for goldfish:
tubular worms
frozen brine shrimp
freeze dried worms (if they do not contain fillers)
Here's the link.

We used to feed our fish tiny matzah crumbs, they all used to survive. It's Pesach for them too....

We used to feed our fish plankton. We got it at the local pet store (Petsmart or something like that).

You can get a 7 day or 10 day brick that you drop in and it lasts that long - people use them when they go on vacation.

This. It's a slow release brick, one days worth of food is released every day. I've never come across any other option for Pesach. It should be available at any local pet shop.

Dried worms is what we always feed our fish for pesach. Doesnt smell any different and fish do fine on them. All pet stores have them.

We use dry bloodworms. Sounds gross but it's not really.

The cRc Pesach Guide says: Fish food, including pyramid feeders, and vacation blocks often have chametz. Goldfish and tropical fish can be given tubular worms, frozen brine shrimp, and freeze-dried worms (if they do not contain fillers).

But if you put it in before and do not see it, it's fine. My parents put their fish tank in the Chametz kitchen with a brick inside.

Frozen brine shrimp is chometz-free and available in most pet store. And, the fish enjoy it. (Ewwww.)

yep, found our bloodworms from last year when we took down our pesach stuff! (unfortunetly our fish died this year...)
We were told the timer thing is a problem as the chometz still belongs to you.
