Despite any moves in either political direction over past twenty years, government has seized more control over everything you do. This is not about protecting you from terrorists, lowering or raising taxes or anything other then a power grab. Nothing illustrates this more then recent decision by U.S. Supreme Court regarding a government’s right to seize private property for public use.

It’s been a trend throughout nation. Huge tracts of privately owned land are seized by local cities, towns and villages and turned over to big box store developers. The idea is that everyone will benefit because more tax revenue will be generated by a big store then Johnson’s Horse Stable or Shelly Greenberg’s two bedroom home. However, what happened to private property rights of those people? Given this decision, it would be almost foolish for anyone to buy any land unless it’s part of some preplanned and approved subdivision. In short, government is now forcing people to live where they want them to. It’s social engineering, pure and simple.

Goldfish need food that is a combination of carbohydrates and vitamins to help them grow and fight disease. They particularly need vitamin A to make their colors look bright. They do need protein but just about 12% so that they can build muscle. In natural habitat, Goldfish mainly feed on plants. They eat a fiber diet that includes algae, grasses and aquatic plants in natural environment. Thankfully you do not have to sweat much to provide them with equivalent nutritional needs because you can get it off shelf! These processed food available at pet stores include:

Flake food

This is one of commonly available goldfish foods, especially made for them and it consists of brine shrimp. It is easily eaten by Goldfish and helps in avoiding a particularly fatal sickness called Air Bladder Disease.

Pellet food

This is also flake food with brine shrimp but it’s packaged as a pellet. The only problem with pellets is that it sometimes swells in goldfish’s stomach and makes it lose its balance. This is what is Air Bladder disease.

Frozen food

This includes live food that is frozen. You have an array to choose from as in frozen brine shrimp, daphnia, tubifex worms or mosquito larvae. This will come frozen in slabs from which you have to break off bit-by-bit and hand-feed your goldfish. You can also opt for Freeze-dried foods, which includes Krill, Pacific plankton, brine shrimp and bloodworms.
