First, you really shouldn't have two fish in a small fish bowl with no filter, but since you do you will need to change the water every day to keep it clean.

Get a small 10 gallon fish tank or larger with a filter, heater, etc. Then get the tank cycled. What fish do you have in the bowl?

you really need some filtration to start. after that you will notice cloudy water, but the water has to cycle in order to fully support the fish. also, buy some water dechlorinator so the fish can breathe easy in the water. raising fish is tough, just keep researching and you'll get it!!

I would get a bottom feeder to keep your tank clean. When you get it you won't have to clean the tank very often. Try it! If that does not work maybe one of your fish has a problem with it's bladder. You might want to check them out.

If i were you, I would get an filter, or a new aquarium
otherwise if that's too big of a problem, then get a pan, put corn oil in it, and then put it on the stove on high, and put the fish in (just kiddin)

You really need to get an actual awuarium set-up. You really shouldn't use a bowl. Get a small aquarium and a filter.

Have you got gravel or any type of stones in the bowl? You need to rinse them over and over again before they're clear of dust

i dont think that u really can have two fish in a bowl and maybe this is the reason why.Also because fish(especiall goldfish)need a filter to keep it clean.

Ya, you'll have to change the water every day if you keep them in the same conditions.

get a bigger tank first of all, then get a snail to help clean the tank... you still need to change the water often.
