Goldfish cannot live in small temporary environments (such as a plastic bag or small bowl) for very long. An hour is fine, several hours not very good, a day or so maximum for a small water container. In an emergency, a large plastic bucket, rinsed well and with water treated with water conditioner works well.
In actual fact, healthy goldfish should live for 10 years or over. goldfish should NOT under any circumstance be kept in a bowl. They need to be kept in a large tank (10 gallons for each fish) with a working filter, alive plants, hiding places (pots) and PH tested water.
