Goldfish live in fresh water, they can live in a bowl, tank or pond. If they live in a tank or bowl they need a filter to keep the water fresh, this will help them live longer and be happier, they need toys and plants too (fake or real.).

They originally live in fresh water e.g rivers and lakes, due to irresponsible owners dumping them in lakes and rivers which mean they breed and produce carp and many other species of goldfish, these are streamlined.
This question honestly needs to be defined a little better!

Any who here is a response:

Goldfish relatively small member of the carp family>(koi carp and crucian carp)>which was native to East Asia>first domesticated from China>A natural genetic mutation produced gold (actually yellowish orange) rather than silver coloration> People began to breed the gold variety instead of the silver variety, keeping them in ponds or other bodies of water> On special occasions at which guests were expected they would be moved to a much smaller container for display.

Now if you are wanting to know what is a Goldfish's natural habitat. Well there is none honestly.

Goldfish were bred for what we see as "Goldfish" these days.

In natural habitat goldfish were more of a silver/green breed of carp which then was found in natural water spots>ponds>lakes etc.

As we now-a-days know as "Goldfish"> Introduction of goldfish into the wild can cause problems for native species.

So in turn > Backyard Ponds> indoor aquariums> and with like fish.
Goldfish mainly live in fish tanks, as pets. otherwise in a pet store
