Answer 1

My kids have had goldfish, and some of them are pretty, but they do seem to dirty their bowls quickly. If you don't want more than one, you might consider getting a Beta. They come in a variety of beautiful colors, and have long, showy fins. They're very easy to care for and their bowls don't need to be cleaned nearly as often as goldfish.
You just have to remember that, because they're Saimese fighting fish, you can only have one in a bowl. You could have more than one bowl if you want more than one fish. Depending on what you use as a bowl (over-sized brandy snifter, interesting vase, etc.) they can be a really lovely display.

Answer 2

#1. The price will depend on where you live, and what type of Goldfish you're looking for. Common Goldfish (long-bodied) are often sold as "feeder" goldfish and are usually quite cheap, they're also really only for Ponds as they can grow in excess of 13" long! Fancy Goldfish (weird shaped bodies, head growths) are more fragile and should be kept in tanks (NOT BOWLS). They can grow to about 10"-12" long. All Goldfish SHOULD live to around 30 years old.

#2. Don't keep a goldfish in a bowl, it's cruel and it will suffer and die. Keep it in a well filtered LARGE tank. The rule for goldfish is 20 US gallons for 1 goldfish, 10 US gallons per fish thereafter, so if you get 3 Goldfish you will need about 40 US gallons of tank. They poop a LOT, and a lot of poop means their water will get messy very quickly.
So they will need a good filter and you will need to give them a 20%-30% water change and gravel vac once a week. Their feeding should also be carefully monitored and any left over food removed so it doesn't go mouldy. And remember to buy dechlorinator for their new water before it goes in the tank.

#3 NO PLASTIC BOWLS, NO VASES, NO GLASS BOWLS, NO NADA. Get a real fish tank from a fish store or don't keep fish at all.

And most importantly, CYCLE the tank for at least 2 weeks BEFORE you put ANY fish in. The link below is a guide to cycling, it sounds a bit complicated at first, but it's essential to avoid damaging and even killing your fish.
