Goldfish cannot live in small temporary environments (such as a plastic bag or small bowl) for very long. An hour is fine, several hours not very good, a day or so maximum for a small water container. In an emergency, a large plastic bucket, rinsed well and with water treated with water conditioner works well.
Goldfish need appropriate temperatures to remain healthy. Goldfish are cold water fish who live in cool lakes, streams and rivers. However, the fact that they are cold water fish does not mean that they should be kept in frigid temperatures.
