Can a Betta fish live in a filtered tank?
Goldfish dont have to have a filter but they need water conditioner like all fish.Fish can survive without a filter but they are always good to have because you dont have to clean it out as often

Unless you expect it to just swim around in a bowl. It helps to CLEAN IT every once in a while.
What is a good fish for my fish bowl?
Betta fish don't even think about goldfish they need 10 gallons each. If your bowl is bigger than 1 gallon a betta will do fine. Below 1 gallon get a ghost shrimp or snail

Are they gay? meaning happy. Happy goldfish can coexist
Is a small betta fish bowl good for goldfish?
A small fish bowl is bad for any fish. You need minimal 5 gallon for a single betta. You need minimal 20~30 gallon for a single fancy goldfish, 40~55 gallon for a single common goldfish. Because fish produce ammonia and it is toxic to themselves. Goldfish has such large body mass, so they produce enormous amount of ammonia. You must have a good filter system, and do a nitrogen cycle first before adding any fish at all.
Can you put a betta fish in the same fish bowl or tank as a goldfish?
No, betta fish are tropical fish; goldfish are coldwater fish, this should be reason enough not to mix the two. The mixing of these fish would be irresponsible and could yield distatorous results. One reason not to mix them would be because betta fish are quite small; most don't even reach 1/3 the size of a goldfish (even when full grown!) it makes them very likely to get bullied by the other fish. Fin nipping can be a major problem and is dangerous for the health of the fish. Do all your fish a favor by not mix betta fish with goldfish.
Is it safe to have 3 Goldfish in a 1 gallon bowl I went to my local pet store the owner told me that is was safe to have 3 of the common goldfish in my 1 gallon bowl they seem to be fine Safe?
This is absolutely not safe.A fancy goldfish needs 20 gallons on it's own, with an additional 10 gallons for each fish added; that would mean that you need a 40 gallon tank for 3 fancy goldfish.Common (single-tail) goldfish grow very long, and due to this they need at least 30 gallons for one fish, with an additional 15 gallons for each common fish added; that would mean that you need a 65 gallon tank for 3 common goldfish.The only thing you can put in a 1 gallon bowl would be a betta, but even a betta would be better in 2.5 gallons or above.
Do fighting fish fight normal fish?
yes, goldfish and betta fish fight.One time I had 2 goldfish and one bit the other one and it killed it.Never have 2 betta fish in the same aquarium or bowl because they will fight right when they get in the aquarium/bowl!

Can small young veiltail goldfish and small young common goldfish and black moor live together in a common tank of 1 gallon?
No you schould not have that many fish in a one gallon tank. Thats the size of a big betta bowl. And because they are goldfish it is worse their poops are toxins
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.
