Alright all the fish will be fine for a few days (3 days) without food. It is better to try and get the fish food with in about 3 days then feeding them crackers or anything like that. For the goldfish though you can feed them peas with the skin taken off it is actually really good for them and is recommended to feed them it every once in while especially if they have swim bladder, but remember this can not be there main food so you don't necessarily need to feed it to them if you can get to the pet store in time. You should be able to do the same for the Angels by feeding them peas. I am Sorry I do not know another thing you could feed your Glow Fish, but the scavenger will just eat algae and the left over food/junk in your tank.

All those fish aren't in the same tank, right? Goldfish are coldwater fish while Angels, Glowlights, and likely, your scavenger are tropical fish that require warm water. The Goldfish will also get about a foot long each. Give your Goldfish away to somebody with a pond. The tropical fish should have water at about 78 degrees. If you have any fresh fruit or vegetables like oranges, cucumbers, broccoli, bananas, grapes, lettuce, peas, or limes, cut them into small peices (boil the lettuce and broccoli) and the fish will eat them. Let the fruit/vegetables sit in the tank for up to 3 days, if uneaten, you need to remove the food. Fish don't need to eat every day, they can go for a week without food, but it might be easier/cheaper to just go buy some fish food.

Healthy fish can live 2 weeks without food and sometimes longer depending on what it is. Don't ever feed crackers or anything that is human food. If you want a good food go with Omega One, New Life Spectrum, Ocean Nutrition, Aqua Dine.

NOTHING. But you'll need to go to the store and buy the proper 'fish food' for them within the next three days ... but most fish are 'overfed' and they can actually 'live well' for at least two weeks without food. Don't worry, just put 'fish food' on your shopping list, and get some when you can, and do it within the next two weeks, really, not in 'three days' ...

you could use cat food or some un salted crackers but you will have to then clean out the tank. JUST go get some fish food. will save you in the long run. normajean

If you are talking 1 or 2 days, they will do fine without any food. You could give them pees, tuna (unsalted), shrimp.

I sure hope that mix isn't in the same tank! If they are, you have bigger problems than food!
