Goldfish are the most versatile and beautiful species of fish that are kept as pets today; and for the fishkeeping hobbyist, they offer something for everyone.
Being cool water fish, goldfish are not very comfortable in cold water (as is commonly believed by the general public) nor are they comfortable in high water temperatures usually used with tropical fish.
Goldfish can and often do survive outdoors as long their water does not freeze solid during the winter or gets too hot during the summer.

 Goldfish FAQ
Goldfish are coldwater fish with a range in temperature from 60ºF to 80ºF. However, a temperature between 65º-75ºF is preferable with the fancy varieties preferring warmer waters of 75º-78ºF. Since tropical fish require a water temperature of 75º-80Fº, many are not compatible with the goldfish.
Goldfish are always digging on the bottom of the tank for food, so the use of small gravel is not recommended because the fish will pick up the gravel in their mouths but sometimes the fish is unable to spit it back out.
Goldfish are extremely sensitive to swimbladder problems, especially the fancy types because of the globoid shape of their stomach.
