Answers:

GOLDFISH CANNOT LIVE IN BOWLS

Goldfish require 10 gallons PER baby/juvenile fancy goldfish(fantails, orandas, black moors ect), 20 gallons PER long bodied goldfish (comet, common, shubunkin)

The ONLY fish that can survive in a bowl is a single male betta.

1clean bowl 2 watch what chemicals you put in their 3 I think you have bad luck with fish.lol

Did you remember to dechlorinate the water (let it sit out for 2 nights or using the drops). Maybe the water quality was bad, so get that checked. Another possibility is that you might have bought sick fish. If you notice any "fuzzy" spots, white patches, cloudy eyes or abnormal symptoms, seperate your fish and get some medicine at a fish supply store.

you can go to local stores and buy a water cleaner that turns tap water safe for fish and filtered water isn't always so safe so ya a good one is called aqua safe

maybe the bowl isn't big enough for two, try just one to see if that helps. also do make sure the water isn't chlorinated at all and make sure you really clean the bowl out well. clean it with water that isn't chorinated too, so no traces of chlorine are left on the bowl. also dont use soap to clean the bowl that could also leave traces and kill them. I had a few black moors before in a 30 gallon fish tank with a high quality filter and they still died.
