Goldfish produce ALOT of waste so a fish bowl is really to small for any goldfish (even if they're small now, they will grow). If able to, the fish should be moved into a 10+ gallon tank (the rule is 10-15 gal for the first fish, 10 additional gallons per fish addition). However, if you are unable to move the fish to a bigger tank, it is suggested that the water in a fish bowl is changed every other day so the fish is in clean water. Think of it this way, it would be like you living in your bathroom for the rest of your life without a toilet to use and no way out... pretty disgusting and uncomfortable if you ask me.
