How do you breed goldfish in an unheated bowl?

Fancy goldfish need 10 gallons per fish while common and single tail goldfish need 20 gallons per fish. The fish need more space, and they need to be around 3 years old before they are old enough to breed. The fish will be around 4 to 5 inches long w/o tail when they are the right size to breed. A bowl is not the proper home for a goldfish they are too large and messy of fish to live in a bowl. Once they breed you will have around 100+ fry (baby goldfish) that will be 1,000+ gallons of water that will be needed to raise them.

How big does your goldfish have to be to lay eggs?

There is no size requirement for a goldfish to be mature enough to breed. The reason I say this is because so very many goldfish are so badly housed and treated that they may become fully mature but only a couple of inches long. Goldfish can usually breed within a year from hatching if they are well looked after.

Not happily or healthily. Those goldfish need at least 30 gallons of space to live happily and have a long life. If you do successfully breed your fish, remember to remove the babies ASAP. Goldfish like to eat their babies.
