How long do goldfish live?

They are typically long-lived and hardy, but some can also succumb to disease or parasite infestation.

Got it, but how long do they typically live in years?
user
It depends on the individual fish, as well as the conditions in which they live. Most adult goldfish that are cared for properly, have the potential to live up to 30 years.

Understood, what conditions do they have to live in to live long?

If you’re keeping them in the home, a large aquarium or pond would be ideal.  You can also add fish to small containers.  A smaller tank would work if you have very young or a special condition fish.  Goldfish are normally in aquariums of at least 20 gallons.  You should also provide for a good water quality (or buy goldfish food with added vitamin supplements).  Goldfish love gravel or natural materials.  You can also make use of rocks, or a climbing structure.  It is also important to add a little oxygen to the water.  Some goldfish are less vulnerable to disease and parasites, and you may be able to keep them in a larger tank and under less-ideal conditions.  Goldfish can also be kept with tropical fish, and often do better in groups.
