Can a goldfish live in a bowl? Check your tank size

A goldfish is not a bowl pet. Welfare groups say these fish grow big, make a lot of waste and can live 10 to 15 years or more, so they need a roomy, filtered tank.

Put in your goldfish type, how many you keep and your tank's measurements, and see how it compares with the RSPCA and SPCA rules. Where the sources differ, we say so.
