Toothed whales - Odontoceti - This group includes Dolphins, Porpoises, Killer whales (Orcas) and Sperm Whales. They have teeth in the usual manner, usually consisting of lots of identical peg-like (but often very sharp!) teeth to catch their slippery prey. Odontocetes are predators on fish or other fast swimming and fairly large prey such as squid.
Baleen Whales - Mysticeti - Mysticetes take in a mouth full of sea water and huge numbers of planktonic food such as krill or even shoaling fish They then close their mouths and use the tongue to push out all of the water through the baleen filters which keep the small prey inside, these are then swallowed. Different species of whales feed on different sizes of prey according to how wide the gaps in their baleen filters are. In this way, they don't all compete directly with each other and so are able to co-exist in the oceans occupying different "niches".
Whales are awesome and I hope to watch them pass by here (Baja California Sur, Mexico) soon!!

It depends on the type of whale. For example, Orkas eat fish and seals, but some whales filter "krill" (plankton) as their main source of food.

If you are talking about the whales from the ocean,they eat plankton and small fish. It is surprising but true.

Depends what kind of whale you're talking about? Is this another pet of yours?

it sometimes depends of the whale, but most of them filter through lots and lots of plankton and sea kelp, and other forms of floating sea vegetation.

Krill. Unless it's killer whales, they prey on dolphins and crap.
