Absolutely not! Goldfish produce alot of ammonia and put alot of toxins into the water. Good rule of thumb is 1 inch of fish to every 2-3 gallons of water with regular goldfish. For fancy goldfish (lion heads, ranchus, black moors, etc.) You need 20 gallons for the first fish, and ten for every one after that.
So if your fish is gonna get say 6 inches fully grown then you are gonna need to get a biger tank. The myth that a fish will only get as big as his tank allows is way off...If you put a baby in a box and continue to feed it like you would a pet fish in a tank then it will grow and that's that. A guppy or beta sized fish would do well in a one gallon as long as the fish you choose doesn't get any bigger than 1 inch or so fully grown. Goldfish get pretty big and it seems as though you are gonna need a biger tank.
Be sure to never rinse you tank out with hot water or use soap. Hot water kills the good bacteria and soap is toxic. Get a test kit and only change the water as needed because if you over change the water you loose the alot of the good bacteria and it gives the bad bacteria room to grow. Oh and declorinator drops are a must if you use tap water! You can just buy purified water from the store if you don't want to use the drops.

Is it possible for a goldfish to live in a 1-gallon tank?
No, it is not recommended for a goldfish to live in a 1-gallon tank as they require more space to thrive and stay healthy. Goldfish produce a lot of waste and need a larger tank with proper filtration to maintain good water quality. A larger tank, ideally 20 gallons or more, is recommended for a goldfish to live comfortably.

What is better putting 20 goldfish into a ten gallon tank or buying ten 1 gallon fish bowls and putting two fish in each?
Neither! A goldfish needs at LEAST 20 gallons of space, adding 10 gallons for each additional goldfish. For example, I own 2 fantail goldfish, and they live happily in a 30 gallon tank. The reason goldfish die so quickly is because people put them in such small containers, and their bodies stop growing but their organs keep expanding. Goldfish are able to live over 10 years, if cared for properly.
