~at least 24 hours, if you don't feel safe with that you may do longer, though it is smarter to use distilled water if you bring it home and you didn't prepare for it, It might be sitting on the shelf for along time, and would probably be the safest water to use on short notice.~scrunnchy

Nope. Goldfish are Cold Blooded, which allows them to survive during the winter in nearly frozen lakes. They do prefer relatively warm water and their metabolism will slow down if they are in cold water long enough. Most indoor tank temperatures are just fine for fish. A water heater can be used during winter or if the room temperature is especially chilly.

Can goldfish live in fishbowl?
No, a fish bowl is just too small for a fish that has the potential to grow over 12 inches in length. A goldfish needs an aquarium of at least 30 gallons (with proper filtration and aeration) to thrive.Only a betta can live in a fish bowl. Goldfish generally don't get as big as "they" say but they do get large. A single goldfish needs 15-20 gallons with an another 10 gallons per additional goldfish. I keep 3 fancy goldfish (about 7" long each) in a 50 gal with a rubberlip pleco (4"), 9 ghost shrimp (about an inch each) , a mystery snail (about 2" long), and 5 ottos (2" each). So the bigger the tank, the better =DYes, but without a filter and bubbler it makes it very hard on the fish. Could result in shorter life span.I got a goldfish from a carnival 5 years ago and she's still alive.

What tropical fish can live with goldfish?
it depens on what type of gold fish u have ( ordinary or fancy ) The simple answer is no. You can not keep tropical fish and coldwater fish (goldfish) successfully for long. Amongst other things, Goldfish run out of oxygen and tend to stress when kept too hot for too long. The metabolism of Tropicals slows down when the water is too cool and their organs simply shut down and the fish die.Tropical fish and goldfish prefer different temperatures; goldfish like to be at around 70F (room temp), whereas tropicals need more in the 78-84F range, and so putting them together can be problematic in that either the goldfish or the tropicals will be outside their normal temperature range, which can lead to stress and disease.
