It is my understanding that goldfish can be toxic due to the chemical that makes them orange. Apparently this chemical can build up in the snake... so it is not just a problem with thyaminase... at least that is what I have been told...

I did feed my FL Blue garter goldfish, but always bought the white ones for this reason... and I also fed minnows and Chubs, as well as nightcrawlers. Variety of foods is always better than feeding one thing continuously, due to the different nutrition in various foods.
