Since the price of pond food has shot up, we got to wondering what else
would be good to feed the goldfish in the pond with.

It turns out that they really like cooked rice. We are now wondering if
there is anyway to keep the rice and other food floating for them, rather
than have it sink and get lost in the soft mud?

I can't see that they're going to get much nutrition from that, given
that fish food is mainly made up of other fishy things!

No, carp are omnivorous. They couldn't survive on a diet of almost
all cooked rice, of course.
