Goldfish grow constantly until they die. As far as length of the fish is concerned they commonly grow to 10 or 12 inches but have been known to grow much larger than that. (around 24 inches)

Goldfish can live a very long time provided that you take proper care of them.One goldfish needs a 20 gallon aquarium with a filter on it's own, and then it's another 10 gallons for every additional goldfish you want to add (so 3 goldfish means at minimum a 40 gallon aquarium).Along with regular weekly maintenance that includes changing at least 50% of the water, goldfish can live for a very long time.

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.
