Australia
From a historic perspective, exotic aquarium fish obviously were imports from far off places. The goldfish, a kind of carp, in fact has its genetic origins in China. But what was once foreign can become local very easily. The Mercedes you see here in the United States was very likely built in Alabama, not Germany. So these days, where do goldfish come from? Are they, like so many ordinary things we take for granted these days, made overseas? Our government's trade figures tell you it's a pretty good shot. Imports of "ornamental fish" (commodity code 0301.10.0000 if you're interested) outweighed exports by $18.6 million in 2004 at a ratio of more than two-to-one.
Goldfish were developed from a species of Carp by fish breeders in China over a thousand years ago. They are not a naturally occurring species

All of them.
goldfish do not live on land
The oldest living goldfish in the world are Koi (singletail) most likely due to the fact that they are (normally) housed in large ponds. Although there are many fancy goldfish that live a long time, Koi surpass them in longevity.
Goldfish can live in temperatures of 10 to 30 degrees Celsius. Room temperature is also good for goldfish to live in.
