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 are actually very complex creatures. Amazingly, they can reach lengths of 12 or more inches and live 10 to 20 years. The oldest goldfish on record was over 40 years! Goldfish are among the hardiest of fish, and can survive through the worst of conditions. They are perfectly adapted to life in a pond, just like their wild carp ancestors.
