Goldfish will die within minutes of being out of water but Bettas are slightly different. Bettas have a labyrinth organ that allows them to breath air as well as using gills. In theory they could survive much longer out of water than most fish but will eventually die due to drying out. Some other members of the labyrinth family like the Climbing Perch are capable of surviving on dry land for days.

What will happen if you put a goldfish with a betta fish?

Nothing spectacular and nothing fast. They will not fight!! If the water is too warm (Bettas are tropical) the goldfish will have its metabolism racing and won't live long. If the water is cold and suits the goldfish then the Betta will slow down and eventually its organs will stop working and it will die.
