In such a confined place as the heel of disco goldfish shoes, it is hard to know which problem that actually kills the fish first - suffocation or chock - but goldfish will die very soon after being inserted in disco goldfish shoes. The constant shakings as the feet moves will naturally also disturb the fish a lot and being trapped inside a very small place is far from healthy. Just like any other fish, the goldfish needs oxygen, food and water changes to survive. The shoe of a disco dancer is of course not an ideal home for a goldfish.
