Can Goldfish Live In A Bowl?

So, can a goldfish survive in a bowl?
The short answer is yes – for a while. Many people equate the fact that a goldfish can live for some period of time in a bowl with their ability to live in a bowl in general. The most common “comet” goldfish are generally cheap (under $0.25US) and sold while very small – usually less than 1 inch long and pet stores often have bowls in the vicinity of the gold fish. All of this makes it reasonable to believe that they can be kept in a bowl.
No, they can’t.
