Is it okay to feed my goldfish breadcrumbs instead of fish food?

We ran out of fish food, so can I crumble white bread into tiny crumbs for him to eat? Will he get sick? (The fish food is actually on our moving truck and we're not moving until next week.)
You can, but it won’t be good for him. Just go buy a little thing of Goldfish food at the pet store for a buck… Please tell me your Goldfish isn’t in a bowl. If it is, it won’t live for another year. Goldfish get up to 12 inches long, sometimes bigger. They need a minimum of 30 gallons a piece. Good luck with the move!
Hey, Punk Girl, I like bread crumbs…

well sure you can feed it with it, i feed my gold fish wwith those for years and there seam to be doing fine
No, it’s not okay. You need to bie somemore fish food. When you know you are out tell a parent or if you can drive, get your butt up and go bie some. Just kidding and don’t be afended, but you really, really need to bie some fish food. Fish want to eat tasty food. Just like us humans, we want tasty food. Not Bread Crumbs!

You can but it’s not healthy for him. Just go get the food off of the moving truck if you’re not moving for a while. That or buy a vacation feeder.
Ummmm, Yeah, but not for a long time
Hi KK, bread crumbs are not a very good food for your fish-apart from being nutritionally poor they will pollute your tank water when used frequently. If your fish food is not available, there are plenty of other things you probably have to hand that can feed him. A little cooked broccoli or carrot, cooked, shelled peas, a slice of orange or other citrus fruit, pear or cauliflower. All of the above should only be fed in very small amounts & the cooked foods should be left to cool thoroughly before feeding. In addition I would suggest immediately getting him some quality Goldfish pellets such as Hikari or Pro-Gold & replacing his flake food with these. Good luck with the move!
i’d have thought breadcrumbs would swell up inside the fish and possibly kill it……..if you can’t get to it’s food buy another tub of it
100% whole wheat bread with no sugar in it is ok. Here’s my list of other things to feed that would be better
carrot – boil to soften
broccoli – boil to soften
cucumber
alvacado
romaine lettuce
leaf spinach
peas
crab
salmon
immataion crab
tuna
shrimp
banana
orange slice
