Well, the fish needs water to survive because its gills need to be wet to work, so it dries out when not in water and it can't breathe. Having said that, some fish seem to be able to survive postal journeys wrapped in damp moss!
water temperature can “shock” the fish and even cause them to die! The water PH and hardness are also critical; the sudden drastic change in either of them can cause fish to die. Gold fish Who's Is Die quickly
Fish are adapted to live in water; the reason why fish die so quickly out of water is that their gills are dependant on being suspended in water to function effectively. Basically, a fish out of water is like you and I underwater; sooner or later, we'll drown.
Fish Can breathe out of water, they just dehydrate quickly and die.
Fish can die if you overfeed them predators can kill them if you kill your own fish if they water is very dirty And many more hope this helps! Love, CutiePieForever
Water gets its oxygen (which the fish need to absorb through their gills to ''breathe'') by absorbing it from the air. If the water surface is not in contact with air, the fish will quickly use up all the oxygen in the water and die.

Because it's Walmart...
Most salt water fish will die if placed in fresh water.
Yes they will die because tropical fish are kept in an aquarium with heat control for the temperature of the water, they will not survive in cold water. Put a tropical fish in cold water it's metabolism will slow down to the point its body no longer works, it won't be able to digest food, will become very lethargic, and die.
Will die
