A "goldfish bowl" should never contain a goldfish. Goldfish require at least 20 gallons for one fish, and an additional 10 gallons for each extra fish (so that's 40 gallons for 3 fish)

It's not just about their potential size, but also due to producing very high amounts of waste.

If you cannot get something bigger for your fish, your local fish store would very likely take the fish for you, and you can think about getting a betta which would still require frequent water changes in something so small, but is much more suitable for the tank size.
