Agree with Dudo on this. Goldfish can survive months without food. In Scotland I kept Koi and Goldfish in a garden pond outdoors. Over winter I didn't feed them anything.
Fry are to be fed several times a day as they will grow up stunted if they are not fed pretty much constantly, but adults can handle a few days of fasting, it's even good for them.
Goldfish are very wasteful eaters anyway and don't actually eat everything you feed them they scatter it a lot.

Yes, I've read that they can go at least 3 weeks without food.. but I've never been game to try it! These are tank fish, not outside in a pool. I don't have lettuce (if I had money for a lettuce I could buy fish food LOL!) but I do have dried cat food- so I can crunch a little up.
Thanks too for your thoughts,Susan.
Ellie.
