It is best to not use salt in a goldfish aquarium unless as a treatment for parasites in the tank of a sick fish. The salt damages nitrobacter bacteria that help keep water quality good and causes the fish to produce a thicker slime coat which stresses out the fish thus making them more susceptible to disease.

Goldfish did not evolve they were selectively bred by Chinese aquarists from a species of wild Asian carp (Carassius gibelio) that had evolved over many millions of years.
