The fish gets its oxygen from the water, from the limited amount dissolved there. Unless more oxygen is added to the water, the fish will "drown" (asphyxiate). In goldfish bowls, it is important to trickle in some water regularly to encourage oxygen intake while also balancing evaporation. In larger aquariums, or with more fish, an aerator bubbles air through the water to add oxygen.

Why is it important to leave air space in a fish jar?

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.
