    Why didn't you get fish food when you bought your fish?? That would have been smarter than feeding lettuce.

    They will be fine until tomorrow. or the next day. Or the day after that even.

    But judging from the question I'm assuming you don't know much about fish-keeping and that the store you bought them from did not mention the tank needed to cycle before you added fish to it. Cycling the tank is a very necessary step for the health of the fish. Even more important than feeding them.

    Do a google search for "new tank cycle" and read, read , read.

    THey can go 4-7 days without being fed. Calm down. Just wait till tomorrow when you can get them regular goldfish food.
