Under ideal conditions a "carasius aratus" or Goldfish can live 50 years. This seldom happens in captivity. A "carasius carasius" can live even longer, some surviving up to 75 years old.

a goldfish can live say maybe only 1-5 days but as long as 5 years
It depends on the hardiness of the fish, the quality of the filter, the clenliness of the water, and the quality of the food.

i,m mot sure but i once read that carp, whitch the species goldfish are one of, are one creature that never dies of old age. this article also stated that carp were never known to have cancer in any form. i have seen very large gold fish that were. twelve or more inches long that had ben raised kept in large outdoor pools

I guess it depends on how to care of the goldfish.Coz if you will not giving them the right food then maybe there's a tendency that they will die early.Thats why they live longer with you coz you take care of them very much.
