i recommend that you have a filtration system in the bowl as during the day plants will give off oxygen while it photosynthasises but at night it gives off gasses and the fish needs to the oxygen to breath. the plant will not be enough for the fish and if you do not have the room for a basic filtration system then the bowl is to small for the fish

No, it means that there is not enough oxygen. Buy an air pump.
Why is it possible to grow plants in a closed glass bottle but a goldfish bowl must be open to for the goldfish to survive?
Fish need to breath oxygen and they create carbon dioxide. As the oxygen gets tied up in the CO2, there is no longer any oxygen to support the fish and it dies. Plants break down CO2 and create oxygen.

There would be 1 left alive and 9 in the bowl until they were removed.Technically, the fish could not drown but if the oxygen level got low enough they could die.
Is a fish happier with water plants or just water in a bowl?
Plants breathe out oxygen into the water; the fish need oxygen to survive. Plants like carbon dioxide CO2 , so if the fish tolerate the acidity, bubble CO2 (from a yeast and sugar mixture) into the aquarium and the plants will grow real well - trap the CO2 under half a plastic bottle so that it has time to dissolve in the water for extra added effect).
Is it ok if your goldfish stays on an ornament like it is resting on it?
If your goldfish looks like its resting on a place i.e.. an ornament or the ground it means the water that its in has a lack of oxygen. I suggest getting a filter or a bubble blower, if you already have one it may not be working properly or not on enough. You could also put more plants in your aquarium or bowl.
What are good plants to put in a goldfish tank?
Plastic... It's reliable. Won't let you down. but, you can get a variety of different ones in pet shops. Also, real plants are good for your tank as they produce oxygen, making it a healthier environment! real plants are very good for fish tanks. It provides oxygen, a beautiful enviorment, and lowers the risk of algae growth. Plastic ones are good to. Cheap and last for a long time. I personally would perfer real plants for a tank/bowl that has no filter because you don't have to change the water often. Plastic is good to for any tank/bowl.
