A goldfish bowl or fish bowl should only be used as temporary housing for your fish. The volume capacity of most fish bowls is around 1 gallon or less, which is not sufficient enough to keep a goldfish healthy and happy. Most fish bowls are narrow at the top and wider in the middle, which decreases the available surface area for gas exchange if the bowl is filled to the top versus only half way. Most people who keep goldfish in a bowl will see it gulping for air near the surface, which is an indication that there is an inadequate amount of dissolved oxygen in the water and the fish is suffocating. A better environment to keep a goldfish is in an aquarium or pond.

A good rule to use when determining the approriate aquarium size to purchase is that you need 20 gallons for the first goldfish and 10 extra gallons of water for each additional goldfish.
