A goldfish does have a nose but its nares (like nostrils) are not connected to its mouth. Instead it is connected to a chamber lined with sensory pads. A goldfish can smell various chemicals in the water when that water is passed over its sensory pads. There are chemicals that are a signal for food, chemicals that signal a predator, chemicals that signal when it's breeding time or even chemicals that are given off by wounded or alarmed fish.
