No, that is not normal behaviour for a goldfish. For one, your goldfish shouldn't be living in a bowl- it needs to be in a 10-20gallon aquarium to thrive. The goldfish is acting this way because the O2 levels in the bowl are too low and it is suffering from a lack off oxygen. The best way to fix this problem is to get a tank with a larger surface area so it will have a greater gas exchange ratio, also add an aerator and if you don't already a filtration system (the best ones are probably the ones that are "biological and mechanical filters").You'll be able to see a lot of improvement in your fish's behaviour and health if you do this.

Can a telescope goldfish live in the same tank as a black Moore?

yes they can. the black moore goldfish has telescope eyes as well and so they both suffer from limited vision and competition for food is not as one sided.it is not recommended however to put either in the same tank as a regular goldfish, as their eyesight is normal and they swim faster and so eat a larger percentage of food than the telescope or black moore.
