About as long as it will take for human beings to evolve into goldfish.

Ask Goldfinger: if he can turn human beings into gold, he can certainly turn tiny goldfish into human beings - but surely not in so long a time as it would take evolution to do the job.

There's no guarantee that a goldfish would evolve into a human; it could evolve into something else sentient. As to time - I would presume millions of years :-)

I'm sure it's too improbable to even consider. Unless goldfish are genetically modified along with some major changes in their genome. Unassisted it would probably take as long as all of the stars in our galaxy to burn out. That's just a guess tho.

Nope, that ain't how it works.
Humans and goldfish exist beside eachother and are diverging in evolutionary terms.

Your question sounds a little fishy to me.
