No, goldfish are a type of fish; fish that happen to eat insects.

Fish (goldfish) and insects are both in the Animalia kingdom. From there they split into two different phylum. Goldfish have a backbone and insects do not. Goldfish are in the Chordata phylum and an insect fits into the Arthropoda phylum.

From there, chordates are split up into their class. These classes include amphibians, birds, reptiles, mammals, many classes of fish and a few other classes. The goldfish and 96% of all fish happens to fit the Actinopterygil Class, a ray-finned fish (webs of skin that are supported by bony/horny spines).

The goldfish is then classified by

Order: Cypriniformes

Family: Cyprinidae

Genus: Carrasius

Species: C. auratus
