It is hard to breed goldfish in tanks. The best place is a pond or pool that contains some floating plants upon which the fish will scatter their sticky ova. Once the spawning has finished, the plants can be placed into aquaria for the hatching to take place.

How do you breed goldfish in an unheated bowl?

Fancy goldfish need 10 gallons per fish while common and single tail goldfish need 20 gallons per fish. The fish need more space, and they need to be around 3 years old before they are old enough to breed. The fish will be around 4 to 5 inches long w/o tail when they are the right size to breed. A bowl is not the proper home for a goldfish they are too large and messy of fish to live in a bowl. Once they breed you will have around 100+ fry (baby goldfish) that will be 1,000+ gallons of water that will be needed to raise them.
