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.
