1O years minimum, 15-20 years maximum. The oldest goldfish record was in his 40's, I think. Goldfish need about 10 gallons a fish, give or take a few. A friend is good for your goldfish, as long as they are friendly, hence the word 'friend'.

Control the pH levels and feed properly, about as much as they can eat in 1-3 minutes, depending on how hungry a fish he always is, DO NOT OVERFEED. Have a filter and heater. A heater is not necessary, but works for mine. I don't know how hot the heater should be, mine is around 70 degrees fairenheit. Don't take my word for it, I'm not sure about the heater. Hope this helps:).

How many year did goldfish live?

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.
