Best Answer

A small fish bowl is bad for any fish.

You need minimal 5 gallon for a single betta.

You need minimal 20~30 gallon for a single fancy goldfish, 40~55 gallon for a single common goldfish.

Because fish produce ammonia and it is toxic to themselves. Goldfish has such large body mass, so they produce enormous amount of ammonia.

You must have a good filter system, and do a nitrogen cycle first before adding any fish at all.

Can you put a betta fish in the same fish bowl or tank as a goldfish?

No, betta fish are tropical fish; goldfish are coldwater fish, this should be reason enough not to mix the two. The mixing of these fish would be irresponsible and could yield distatorous results. One reason not to mix them would be because betta fish are quite small; most don't even reach 1/3 the size of a goldfish (even when full grown!) it makes them very likely to get bullied by the other fish. Fin nipping can be a major problem and is dangerous for the health of the fish. Do all your fish a favor by not mix betta fish with goldfish.
