The lifespan of a goldfish is determined by the care and maintenance of the goldfish and goldfish's home , whether or not it is getting essential nutrients and is fed a proper diet, and if the genetics of the goldfish are good. Also a factor that can determine the lifespan of a goldfish is whether the goldfish's owner did much needed research about the goldfish before purchasing one - or if they choose to remain ignorant about goldfish and their needs. If a goldfish is taken good care of through-out its life- and is not constantly, if not ever, subjected to stressful situations- other than the time it is acquired and introduced to its home (remember to always quarantine for at least 30 days before doing this) you can expect the fish to live up to +20 years- maybe even longer.

Is a goldfish's year length the same as ours?
The average well kept goldfish lives to about 10 (they may live much less or much more than 10 years) which is about 7 times smaller than our life time. So in this case, each year is equivalent to about 6 goldfish years, or every 2 months equals a year to goldfish.
How long do goldfish from fairs live?
Goldfish given out as prizes at fairs are usually lethargic, emaciated, and overall just plain out unhealthy. Goldfish from fairs are often not given an appropriate home in which to live and the people who win them are not prepared for their new pet and probally do not know much about goldfish and their needs. For this reason many, many goldfish from fairs have simply died within a week or less after being taken "home". However if given an appropriate home and if nursed back to health goldfish from fairs can live between 10-20 years! I won some goldfish from a fair and we bought a big tank and a filter and they've been alive for a year or so! I went to the same fair and won some more goldfish but they died in 2 days :( so i guess it really depends on how healthy the goldfish are.
