It is NOT very right to keep a goldfish in a bowl. Not only do they become bored and unhappy, but it can cause health problems and stunt the fish's growth. However, the VERY least you can do for a fish in a bowl is the biggest bowl you can find. Also, goldfish NEED some sort of filter to live a reasonable amount of years, and filters cannot be put in bowls. I recommend at least a 5 gallon tank for your fish. Really though, there is nothing special you can do for a fish in a bowl.

No they cannot; just one fancy goldfish should be in a 20 gallon aquarium on it's own with regular weekly water changes.
The only fish that can survive in a fish bowl is a Betta.

The length of a goldfish's life depends on it's environment and how you look after it. A well looked after, healthy and happy goldfish can live as long as 40 years

Goldfish do not belong in bowls; one fancy goldfish needs at least 20 gallons alone at the bare minimum.
