How much water does a fish actually need to survive? And how long can they survive on the bare minimum?

I saw a person selling goldfish in this hot summer in New Delhi, and it got me intrigued about fish and marine life, like can they see the water they are living in? If I take them out of the water and keep splashing water on them will they survive?

It depends. Barely any at all if it is oxygenated and cleaned somehow. Realistically, and in nature, the biggest contributor to volume requirements is waste. They urinate and defecate in said water. In a natural environment it is absorbed and used up by plants. They need a whole lot of space.
