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.

A goldfish can survive over 8 days without food because it is cold blooded, however it is not healthy for a goldfish to go so long without eating.

A goldfish can survive around 15 or 20 minutes out of water, but it would be suffering, and not comfortable. It would be cruel to subject them to this.

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.
