I know that they would survive the initial firing but how would they survive without being fed at all and during the mission The Library in Halo CE they already had forms which that was supposed to be their containment if I'm correct and all creatures theoretically need contribution to survive or they just rot, wither, and die.Creatures called Tardigrades can effectively hibernate during periods of unfavourable conditions that may otherwise kill them. They've been irradiated, frozen to Absolute Zero, boiled to 151 celsius and dehydrated for a decade, and still survived.
My guess is that the Flood are even hardier than that.
The Icon wasn't secured until the end of the game when the flood had already been released upon High Charity making Master Chiefs search efforts rather harder, then once finding out the rings were on standby gravemind should have held the flood off humanity until the rings were taken of standby the continue his campaign for galactic domination.Perhaps the Gravemind realised how close Truth was to firing the ring, and thus deployed his Flood army to stop him, whilst still having 117 and the Arbiter search.
To learn more about the Flood, I highly recommend the sticky'd thread on the right, "The Precursor, The Flood, and the Acceleration of Evolution" by Lord Snakie.
