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.
A goldfish can survive for a short time in an unfiltered small bowl or in a tank with poor water quality, but if he lives in unfit water for very long, his life will be shortened considerably. Healthy goldfish live on average 15 to 20 years, while those kept in unhealthy conditions, even well-cared-for otherwise, live an average two to three years. A filter is necessary to maintain the type of water quality a goldfish needs to live a long and healthy life. Using a filter doesn't mean you can't keep your goldfish in a bowl -- as long as it's a large one. Filters are available for traditional tanks, decorative containers and goldfish bowls.
