This is the second day I forgot to buy fish flakes for my tank of 10 gold fish. Should I make an emergency run to the shops?

Check this link out, you'll probably find you already have several things in your fridge that your Goldfish will love ( flakes really are Goldfish junk food!)
They can live about 4 days without food.
I think they can go a week maximum
YES! Two days is about their limit.
They must be pretty hungry by now-- they have short digestive systems so they have probably pooped away everything they ate 2 days ago.
Please go today-- if not otday, then no later than tomorrow-- fish food is cheap -- why not buy 2 cans and save the second one -- then when you START to use the second one, go out and buy another one as a back-up.
i know of gold fish that have lived a month + but i dont know they could have been eating each other??lol your good for a couple of days
Goldfish are meant to be feed once. or twice a day...but in some cases you can feed them every other day meaning..Monday you feed them %26 tuesday you don't etc.. But it best that you go %26 buy your fishes food ASAP!!! they must be very hungry by now!!! (don't over feed them either because they can die)..
about a week. but if you are going on vacation you can use the block food which will feed them.
2 days for a goldfish is a walk in the park.
1 week is easily done for a goldfish that was healthy from the start, with the exception of small fry.
The fact is, goldfish at their ideal water temperature can go weeks without food and be no worse for wear, except skinny and hungry. In chilled water they can even go months without food. It's hard for many to understand how this can be and so they deny the possiblity, but it is the truth.
I can assure you with 100% certainty that you will not harm the goldfish if he skips a few days of food every now and then. And anyone who goes away for vacation and buys those feeder blocks do, whether they realize it or not, leave their fish without food for that time - those blocks are mostly filler and contain next to 0 nutrition.
BUY an auto-feeder... they are simple to hang on to the back of the tank and can feed ur fish different amounts twice a day. plus they are cheap
The easy answer is how long can you go without eating. I know it sounds harsh, but they need to be fed everyday to keep them healthy and active. If I were you I would get some food for them asap or they could begin to get sick or worse even die.
