They get to about 5" and i dont think its right to keep any kind of fish in a bowl, makes somthing happen to their brain. (dont ask me wot)
 
if you were to keep them in there i would say 2 at the most
 
In that thing? I wouldn't keep any goldfish, THey grow far to large (even the bubble eyes) and produce far to much waste for that thing to handle. I suggest getting a normal tank with better filtration.
 
TBH I dissagree, the BiOrbs have exelent filtration well my 80l one does but then again I only got two in, they are huge though.
 
Most people start with goldfish thinking they're an easy begginer fish but are on the wrong track. Goldfish get big, need lots of space, and lots of O2. Thats why they always die in bowls. Bettas are much better for bowls because they're small, don't need alot of room, and can take O2 right from the atmosphere.
