This may be a daft question but I'm new to this pond lark. I've heard of
feeding goldfish with brine shrimp, a small crustacean. So I read up on
them. They are about the size of a sand hopper (also a small
crustacean). Where I live there are no aquatic dealers and I would have
to buy brine shrimp by mail order. Sand hoppers are plentiful and easy
to catch by sinking a bucket into a local shingle beach with a lamp in
it at night. I just wondered if there was any reason I shouldn't try a
few as feed for my fish? Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
===================
Goldfish can live very well without brineshrimp. Why not try the
sand-hoppers and see if they'll eat them?
