And in a similar but completely different way, the fish are being added to massive bodies of water. Home aquariums are minute in comparison, so they can't balance out chemical swings as easily and are much more prone to higher levels of nitrites and other toxic chemicals. The larger the body of water, the more stable the water quality.

So what I hear you saying is I need a bigger aquarium...

You could probably air drop one goldfish into a 100 gallon tank and it'd be fine (assuming it survived the fall).
