Do goldfish really grow as large as their bowl allows them to?
There's a bit of myth around this. Goldfish won't grow properly in a bowl and are likely to die before they're even sexually mature (they are not considered mature until they are over 2 years old). In a small unfiltered bowl water quality can turn toxic within 12 hours, that toxic water will stunt the fish, not tank or bowl size! If you had Goldfish in a small tank or bowl but managed to miraculously keep water quality healthy, they would continue to grow until they could no longer turn around, and then become so stressed they get sick, and then they would die from that instead. A fish in a bowl is a lose lose situation for that poor creature! Goldfish need massive over filtered tanks.

What is the term for a fish growing as large as its environment allows?
When a fish grows as large as its environment it is an example of a limiting factor to the fishes growth. That is why a goldfish will grow larger with a larger tank.
Do goldfish grow bigger in bigger tanks?
Goldfish have the potential to grow very large if given the necessary amount of space from the very beginning. This means that if you put one goldfish in the recommended 20 gallons on it's own, it could potentially grow quite large.
Will a goldfish grow as big as the tank?

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 big can goldfish grow if they are free in the wild?
Yes, the rate at which a goldfish grows, and its overall size, is often partially determined by its environment. This is why pond goldfish are considerably larger than aquarium goldfish, and why goldfish that are cramped-up in bowls stay relatively small. If you want your goldfish to grow into large healthy fish you'll buy them a large aquarium or pond to live in.
Can you put a goldfish in a betta fish bowl?
Only if you're ok with it dying in a few days. A goldfish needs a minimum of 10 gallons to itself, preferably 20, to allow them for room to grow as well as to account for the amount of waste they produce. They can grow fairly large and are considered messy fish, so they need room and plenty of filtering. A betta fish bowl wouldn't allow for any of those things.
Can you keep 4 goldfish in 1 bowl?
No. Goldfish grow very large and are messy. Fancy goldfish need 20 gallons of water per fish plus 10 gallons for each additional fish (so 50 gallons at minimum for 4). Common and single tail goldfish need 30 gallons each plus 20 gallons for each additional fish
