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.
