How does a goldfish grow as a size of a foot when in seawater and still the same size when in a bowl?

Goldfish release growth-inhibiting hormones into the water they live in: the more goldfish in a smaller space, the less likely they are to grow. For instance, if I have a common goldfish in a 5 gallon tank, it will grow to about the same size if I had 6 of the same fish in a 30 gallon tank. But leave that fish alone in a 30 gallon tank, and it will grow larger. This is why pond goldfish grow bigger.
But goldfish won't grow at all in seawater; they aren't Saltwater Fish.

Is a goldfish in a bowl an ecosystem?
It is an ecosystem, just too small of one for a goldfish! Many bowls are beautiful planted ones with caves and such, but as goldfish gan grow to be a foot long, this is too small of a place for them to live. Alternatively, betasand small shrimp can be housed in bowls and make great pets for the beginner aquarist.

How many comet goldfish can you keep in a 120 liter tank?
Comet goldfish grow to be around a foot long. 120 liters is about 30 gallons so I say about 2. Get fancy goldfish because you could do even five in a tank that size because they don't get as big.

What kind of fish can you keep in a bowl?
You can put any fish that will fit into a bowl inside of one, but keeping is another matter. Much as it's potentially possible to keep a dog alive for a while inside of a closet, don't expect the health of the dog in the closet or the fish in the bowl to remain anywhere near optimal. Besides, fish have interesting behaviors you simply will not see in a bowl.That said, some species of betta will survive for a few years in a bowl as long as you are willing to do a lot of extra water changes. This includes the most common species, Betta splendens, which you often find sold in cups. As with any other fish, however, they do better in larger tanks with full filtration systems.Some might suggest the goldfish, but understand that even the shorter-bodied goldfish can grow to near a foot long if kept correctly, though it surely never will if kept in a bowl. Keeping goldfish in bowls comes from a misunderstood antiquated practice by the Chinese, who first bred goldfish. They kept goldfish in ponds normally, as is best for that species, and would occasionally put one or two in a bowl and place it on a dinner table as a form of decoration, to be put back out in the pond once dinner was finished.A better suggestion for your fish bowl would be to try making a small terrarium out of it; with a little soil and some interesting plants, you can create and maintain a beautiful little micro-environment you can enjoy nearly anywhere in your home.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It depends on the size of the bowl, but in a standard sized fish bowl you can keep toy fish, a can of tuna, gold fish crackers almost indefinitely.
