Fin Pal asks Norman "Just how much do you eat?"

Isn’t Kaylee’s picture fin-omenal! Norman glugged it! And she asks a really good question. Just how much fish food should we drop into our fishy friend’s bowl each day?

Goldfish don’t have stomachs like we do. Instead they have really long intestines (so do we). The intestines suck all the nutrients—good stuff—out of the food as it passes through them. But one of the things our stomach does is break our food into small bits so we can digest it. Because goldfish don’t have a stomachs its important that we feed them only good-for-them food.

No junk for Norman!

Which takes us back to Kaylee’s question. Ready to read the answer? Scroll down . . .
