i have 2 fighting fish and no fish food till tuesday. what else can i feed them that might be in the household


Answers:
Bettas can live for a while with out food.. they eat bugs/ flies/mosquitoes BUT you have to be careful about feeding them ones you catch becuase they could have been exposed to poison
Nothing at all that would do them any good, they will find enough food for a couple of days in the tank
Bread for sure. Any cereal without a ton of sugar. Lettuce or a vegetable that is manage for their size. Canned vegetable, again for their size. Cut them up good!!
Most fish are not carnivores, they eat greens(algae) in the ocean and lakes all day!
crackers
Murder an earth worm and chop it up really fine, 1 worm should last the 2 days. ?;)~~
maybe a indoor cat or puppy if they are fighting fish they will know what to do
INSTANT POTATOES, OR BREAD WOULD WORK ALSO. FISH ARE PRIMARILY VEGETARIANS.
low salt crackers.
They should be good without food for a week
dig up a couple of worms and cut them up into small peices. they love eating these
They should be fine without food until then. If you want you could try peas, a small chunk of zucchini or cucumber, or a bit of lima bean, but they may or may not accept it (as they are primarily carnivores).

Don't try cereals or breads or anything, though. It will foul up the water and chances are the fish won't eat it anyway.
they'll be fine till then!
they can go for a while with out food so don't worry.
