Answer:
my goldfish once lived 10 years in my fish bowl.
Ok. So yea, they can live a long time in a bowl. BUT not as long as they should wich is about 20 years. Also, goldfish grow and grow (a single adult goldfish needs 15-20 gallons with another 10 gallons for additional goldfish). They produce massive amounts of waste and need lots of oxygen wich bowls do not provide. Fancy goldfish get about 10" and common goldfish get even larger. Plus, they will get ammonia poisoning and won't live a happy life. People say that since they are in a bowl, they won't grow as big. That's like saying a St. bernard puppy won't grow in an aparment! Keeping them in bowls does stunt their growth and makes it slower (but they do grow what they are supposed to as long as the bowl doesn't kill them first....) and can cause problems with eternal organs. So just say no to "goldfish bowls".
