I was going to edit my last post again to add this, but realised that its getting ridiculously long now!

Just a tip really - you might find it better to hold the food just under the surface of the water before letting it go - that way it'll sink to the bottom of the tank rather than float on the surface. If goldfish take in too much oxygen whilst feeding it can cause them problems with their swim bladders (they can have trouble righting themselves and sometimes end up swimming upside down). Also goldfish are naturally bottom-feeders (they spend most of their time scouring the bottom of the tank for food) so it'll be more natural for them too feed that way
