"Goldfish bowls" has been a long outdated name for a container that is far too small to house any fish whatsoever. They typically hold about 1 gallon of water, which is unsuitable for anything other than a place to put your loose change.
A Betta (Siamese fighting fish) is a fish that can live in 2.5 to 5 gallons at minimum - they are the fish that pet stores keep in little cups. This is not because that's all the water they need to survive, but because they cannot be housed together in the same tank and there is simply no room to place each fish alone in one tank each.
