A goldfish is a cold water fish, so it does best when it is in cooler water. Any goldfish forced to live in a tropical fish setting will probably live, just like you can live outside when it's very hot in the summer, but it will not be the healthiest, happiest goldfish it can be, just like you would rather be in the air conditioning.

∙ 14y agoThey "can" live in warm water. Goldfish are "Coldwater" fish. They are actually a species of Carp that evolved in cold water. They come into breeding condition when water temperature gets above 65F. They breed at just below 70F. Warmer temperatures will shorten the fishes life, weaken them and make them prone to disease.

Three in a bowl? To live its full lifespan a goldfish needs ten gallons, so if you want three, you need to have a 30 gallon tank. Or 3 individual 10 gallon tanks. Otherwise they will live a month, maybe.
