Is "goldfish" really a good example of oily fish? I know that non-ornamental carp are often eaten by people, but as far as I know, koi and goldfish are not commonly raised for food. Or is this vandalism? Fledchen 16:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)


The goldfish comment is probably due to a fish-keeper; goldfish are currently being discredited as staple feeder-fish due to their high thiaminase content and the difficulty of giving fish vitamins. Also, I edited the bit about nardoo ferns to more accurately reflect the information provided on the Cornell page.
