Put another way, the common goldfish lifespan is usually between 10 and 20 years, while the fancy or exotic goldfish lifespan is generally on the order of 8 to 10 years.This assumes that the fish live in a healthy environment, and are well cared for.The environment is really quite important.oldfish do better in a large aquarium, where a lifespan of 10 years is not uncommon. Goldfish living in outdoor ponds often live twice that long, especially when adequately protected form predators such as cats and raccoons.
In a proper 20 gallon tank where water perameters are closely adhered to a common goldfish can live into their 30's. The oldest common goldfish died at the age of 43! If you have the fish in less than ideal conditions, like a bowl or tiny tank, they usually don't live a month. Tiny tank is ANY tank under 10 gallons. 10 gallons would be a very small tank. A 55 gallon is a suitable home for 4 or 5 goldfish.
