Goldfish can survive on being fed once a week if kept outdoors with a ready supply of plants and water critters. For winter they do slow right down so feeding is only neccessary once or twice a week. In summer however you may need to look into an automatic feeder as it would be cruel and potentially very problomatic if you do not feed them enough. They will eventually starve as their metabolism will be very fast.
