If you can keep them long enough to starve them to death then you are doing pretty good.  That could take a month. The first hurdle is to get them into the cage without damage and then keep them from freaking out and banging themselves on the cage walls.  The slime and scales are their first line of defense against microbes.  When that cuticle is broken they become susceptible to all sorts of skin infections and fin rot.  If the infections persist they become systemic and it's good bye.

Wow i didnt know fish can go so long w/o food. That explains a long period of low fish feeding activity at the local pier.
