7 to 10 days is the norm before they start to cannibalize
About 4 days, but i do not recommend it! If you are going to be away for a while you can buy feeding blocks that slowly release food over a number of days, if you plan on being away a lot then you can buy an electronic feeder that will feed your fish every 12 hours, you will need to fill it up every month or so. Be sure to read the instructions.

Without any nutrition being ingested, a fish won't live too long unless it is one of those specialized species(lungfish). And don't confuse "not adding food to the tank" with "not getting anything to eat". A fish that isn't fed by its owner will try to get nutrition out of any organic matter it finds in the tank.

How long can goldfish go without eating?

Up to 7-8 daysSince goldfish are coldblooded animals they do not burn up energy trying to regulate their body temperature like warmblooded animals do. In this way they don't have to eat as much to survive and function. Although goldfish can usually survive over a week without food it is not very good for them. It is important to feed goldfish regularly and to not overfeed them either. The above answer is PARTIALLY correct. I've had two goldfish I won at the fair in late august. they've been without food since about August 20, and it is now December. Goldfish can go a VERY long time without food it seems. They're names are Ann and Frank. Either they're miracle fish, or goldfish can simply go months without food. Hope this helps.

In aquariums, they constantly skim the water surface and suck rocks to find bits of food that they missed when they were fed. In the wild, they typically nip on plants and eat insects. Goldfish are known to think that everything is food. Their lives are an endless search of food and they never get tired of food. A healthy goldfish can go for days without food.


How long can an goldfish live with out food?

Goldfish are cold-blooded which means they don't need to eat as much as warmblooded animals who use a lot of energy to warm their bodies. A goldfish can go a week of more without eating. They won't starve to death like a warmblooded animal would but they will be hungry and stop growing. Once food is reintroduced, they will begin to grow again.
