Dandy Orandas has been the Number One source for fancy goldfish in the USA for over 35 years. I currently am not shipping fish, but still have several hundred of my own. They all eat SUPER GOLD for every meal. I believe it is absolutely the best food available for fancies.
I hope to be back to auctions next year, but several variables are still uncertain regarding the exact date. Until my auctions return, I urge anyone with fancies to check out SUPER GOLD. 
I’ve spent decades working with thousands of goldfish and learned many years ago that the dry diet that is typically sold is seriously lacking. Most are lacking in quality ingredients, but also lacking in moisture content that I believe is important for goldfish to easily digest and avoid the problems associated with dry foods. I’ve seen direct evidence of buoyancy issues caused by dry foods many times with these fish. While swim bladder issues can occur with any fish, I’ve had hundreds of goldfish that when fed a dry diet, they floated around like corks until the food was passed. This told me decades ago that the food was causing the problem and not some sort of “swim bladder” issue. An associated issue is the compacted and squiggly digestive tract in goldfish. We’ve taken a long torpedo shaped fish, and we’ve squished it into a form that can be problematic.  I’ve seen fish perish simply due to constipation with dry foods. With gel food, it helps with assimilation of the ingredients, and it passes more easily with less waste as the food is digested better. I also don’t see all the balance/buoyancy goofiness after eating that I witnessed over and over with dry foods. As such, I started experimenting with homemade Gel foods over 30 years ago. I’ve been researching nutrition and working in animal husbandry with many species for decades…that includes trying to better my own nutrition as well. In my studies, I discovered most animal feeds are made out of cheap ingredients. I’ve been asked many times about what I think of this food or that food. All it takes is a quick glance at the ingredients to tell if something is good or not. If you look, most have what many people call “fillers”, then a bunch of additives at the end to make up for what is lacking in the actual ingredients to begin with. SUPER GOLD consists of a huge spectrum of quality ingredients, PLUS the added benefit of a gel food to aid in digestion and avoid the problems associated with dry foods. Truthfully, I could have made much more money making something cheap, yet overpriced. But, I was not looking to create the cheapest goldfish food. I wanted to create the BEST goldfish food. I believe that SUPER GOLD is the best food on the planet for fancies and urge you to try it too. Remember…depending on your preferred ratio of water, a pound of SUPER GOLD will yield 6-8 pounds of finished Gel Food. Even more as a thinner starter food for fry. It also serves as a great binder for all kinds of amendments and crumbs of things like blood worms and brine shrimp that might otherwise foul the tank.
