any real goldfish enthusiast like myself would tell you that goldfish bowls are horrible... i believe they were banned in some parts of europe, if not all of it... rule of thumb for fancy goldfish is 20 gallons per goldfish, 10 gallons each aditional goldfish... check out www.goldfishparadise.com if you get the chance...

A gold fish BOWL is not a fish TANK. Lots of people don't keep fish bowls long due to the maintenance needed to keep it healthy.

ahem, well, i usually don't respond to Q's like this very nicely, but i will try my best
anyway a goldfish DOES NOT BELONG IN A BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A minumum just for starters for 1 single goldfish is at LEAST a 10 gallon tank with filter
For 2, you need at LEAST a 20 gallon tank
here is an article for you to read up on

Please do your fish as well as yourself a very big favor and get a TANK for them and not just a darn bowl
NO FISH, i repeat NO FISH is suppose to live in a bowl where there is no oxygen for them to get
If you want to keep something in there, you should get yourself these little glassfish, no maintenance required at all
Even a betta needs at least a 2.5 gallon tank with filter and heater (if you can't keep the temperature night and day at the same temperature around 78-82 degrees)
hope that helps
good luck

Get alleast a 10 gallon. Goldfish a messy fish and they get kinda big. 1 goldfish in aleast a 5 gallon( 10 would be better) They need circulation in their water because of the ammonia they give off.which is what is making your water cloudy. That won't go away until they are in a well filtrated tank.
