Goldfish were developed by the Chinese over a thousand years ago from a species of Carp. This would indicate to me that the Goldfish has no natural "ecosystem" of its own in which it evolved. However I would assume that the ecosystem to suit one would be that of the natural habitat of the fish from which the goldfish was derived. Namely the Prussian Carp (Carassius gibelio). These fish naturally inhabit the temperate lakes, Ponds and Slow moving rivers of Asia. So their 'ecosystem' would be that of a temporate lake, pond or slow moving river.
