Best Answer

The same reason you run more actively with air in the atmosphere. Without air, and therefore oxygen, you and the goldfish will suffocate, making it difficult to swim or run.

You take in oxygen through your lungs; the goldfish takes in oxygen through its gills.

What would happen to a goldfish if the water temperature increase?

Simply put, they will die. Goldfish are coldwater fish and if their water gets too warm, their metabolism speeds up. Their bodies then demand more oxygen for them to survive. The warmer water is, the less oxygen it can contain, so coldwater fish simple die from lack of oxygen in warm water.
