I ran out of food, so i took someones suggestion of feeding oats to them, but i have done it for quite a while now. :-( Am I killing my fish?

Probably..... most fish need more protein than is in oatmeal.
All it is doing is keeping their stomachs full, not meeting their nutritional requirements.
Commercial fish food also has vitamins and minerals added that fish need. Even the cheapest fish food would be better than the oatmeal.

Fish could go quite awhile without food. Me personaly I would stop with the 'oats' and get yourself to the store as soon as possible. What are you waiting for?

Is this question serious??? I suggest you go and buy some fish food, it really is not expensive, the oatmeal will not cut it.

Do they like it?
I would get fish food but I might give mine some if they like it. I know my goldfish eat the cr*p out of an orange. The gourami and cichlids don't care for it but I think my gold fish will eat anything.

Whoever told you this is an idiot! This is not good for your fish. Don't be so lazy! Please go get them some decent food. Even cheap fish food is better than oatmeal.....
