All fish (Including Goldfish) suck water in through their mouth and pass it through their gill fillaments where there is an exchange of gasses and impurities. The impurity carrying, oxygen depleted water, then returns from the gills back into the surrounding water. The gills in fish are the equivalent of lungs in an air breathing mammal and do the same job.

How do goldfish breath?
Goldfish breathe by drawing in oxygenated water through its mouth. It then closes its throat and forces the water through gill openings where the oxygen in the water is absorbed (inhales) into the fish. The water is pushed out through the gill openings, taking with it the (exhaled) carbon dioxide and ammonia. The gills in fish are the equivalent of lungs in humans. Oxygen gets inhaled through tiny membranes in the lungs or gills and CO2 (and ammonia in fish) is exhaled.
