No it will not. It will be runted by the lack of room. In order for goldfish to grow to full size they should be housed in ponds or very large aquaria.

Should you put your fish in a bowl or tank?
it depends on how big it is if it is a goldfish or beta it can be in a bowl.If it is one of those big tiger fish or aqarium fish then put it in a big tank. A fish will grow to the size of the tank or bowl. For instance, say a goldfish is in a tank, it will not grow as big as the tank; however it will grow big enough to be able to swim in their environment. The fish will not overgrow the tank. I had a six inch goldfish in a thirty gallon tank.
How big do goldfish grow in a 55 gallon tank?
Goldfish commonly grow to over 12 inches. The size of your tank would indicate that it is not really large enough for keeping goldfish in. The basic rule of fishkeeping is "1 Inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. Goldfish should really be kept in a pond.

How does a goldfish grow as a size of a foot when in seawater and still the same size when in a bowl?
Goldfish release growth-inhibiting hormones into the water they live in: the more goldfish in a smaller space, the less likely they are to grow. For instance, if I have a common goldfish in a 5 gallon tank, it will grow to about the same size if I had 6 of the same fish in a 30 gallon tank. But leave that fish alone in a 30 gallon tank, and it will grow larger. This is why pond goldfish grow bigger. But goldfish won't grow at all in seawater; they aren't saltwater fish.

How fast do goldfish grow?
Goldfish can get VERY big. Actually, they naturally never stop growing. They can even get up to 3 feet. You may find this hard to believe, but this is because most goldfish's growths are stunted because of small tanks. Sometimes they adapt to the tank size and only grow if put in a bigger tank but this is rare. If a goldfish is given a healthy, natural life, they will continue to live and grow. The record for oldest fish is about 49 years.The person above me is very right. Goldfish usually don't reach their full length because they die (cuz of small tanks, over feeding, and any other abuse) before they can. They never stop growing but their growing starts to slow down after a while. That's why it's 20 gallons for one goldfish and another 10 gallons for additional goldfish (3 large fancy goldfish in a 50 gal).The two people above me are partially right. There is no record of any goldfish reaching 3 feet, only koi can attain a length that big. Goldfish are also capable of growing to their adult size (12 - 14 inches) in a 10 gallon tank as long as you keep the tank clean, warm and you put the goldfish on a varied diet. Although, since goldfish can grow big and produce a lot of waste, it is best that you move them to a bigger tank once they grow-out their old one.According to experts, an ordinary or common goldfish will grow up to 26 inches while koi carps will grow and weigh up to 90 lbs.REALLY REALLY BIG, of course depending on the tank size, if put in a big tank they can reach the size of a koiThey can live to the age of 45 if in clean conditions. They can get as large as 10'', but if they have descendants of a large fish such as a koi it can grow as large as a koi. The goldfish also grows with the tank as you give it bigger ones. I have a comet goldfish who is half that has lots of koi in him and a little bit of goldfish,he is 2 years old.It will grow to the size of the tank you might have you see the big gold fish in the shop what r about 5-7 ich long
