Hiya and welcome to tropical world. Goldfish bowls are really not suitable for goldfish never mind 4,how long have you been fishkeeping?

A large fish holds approximately 14 liters. So far i have had fish give or take about 7 months I don't think 4 goldfish is too much my size bowl its huge compared to others i have seen. i've had one fish since the day i started so i think the other i have bought were sick because they only lasted a day or two.

14 liters for 4 goldfish come on 1 goldfish needs a least a 20 gallon a lone then every one more goldfish after needs another ten gallons you have a little over 3 uk gallons.If your serious about fishkeeping upgrade to a least a 50 gallon or rehome your goldfish.
