First off, it won't hurt fish to go for one or several days without food and it's best to underfeed than overfeed anyway. Most fish are omnivorous, which means that they like and need as a part of their regular diet, fruits and veggies as well as their regular fish food. So, you can feed them things such as dark green lettuces (not iceberg) and spinach, thawed frozen peas or fresh boiled peas with the skins removed, chopped boiled eggs, cucumber, zucchini, broccoli flowers, boiled cauliflower, fruits such as oranges, grapes, kiwi fruit, melons, bananas, strawberries, etc. Take out anything that they don't show interest in or don't eat all of it.

That would depend on the fish, but a reasonably healthy fish can go several days without food and have no ill effects. If you can make it by the pet shop in the next day or two don't worry about it, just feed them then.

it fairly is going to likely be ok at first yet interior the long-term your fish will lack food mandatory for freshwater fish and too lots food mandatory for saltwater fishes. Get a sparkling freshwater fish nutrition. sell or provide away your saltwater fish nutrition in case you like.

If you have carnivorous fish you can feed them diced beef heart.

if they are vegetarian fish you can give them bits of lettuce and broccoli. If they like meat then some little bits of raw mince with no fat will do.
