Yes, goldfish are very messy. Goldfish need 10 gallons per fish, you actually need a 20 gallon tank or about a 70 liter tank for 2 goldfish. But the small tank will do while they are small, you will need to eventually get a larger tank.

Can you put a goldfish in a one and a half gallon bowl?
If it is a small goldfish, it will physically fit in something that small. But, it will not live very long in it. If you wish to keep goldfish alive, you need at least ten gallons of water for each goldfish along with a good filter and a heater to keep the water temperature stable.

A small fish bowl is bad for any fish. You need minimal 5 gallon for a single betta. You need minimal 20~30 gallon for a single fancy goldfish, 40~55 gallon for a single common goldfish. Because fish produce ammonia and it is toxic to themselves. Goldfish has such large body mass, so they produce enormous amount of ammonia. You must have a good filter system, and do a nitrogen cycle first before adding any fish at all.

How come goldfish die easily?
Goldfish only die easily when they are not properly cared for.One goldfish needs a 20 gallon aquarium on it's own, and you need an additional 10 gallons for every additional goldfish (so if you have 3 goldfish, you need a 40 gallon aquarium at minimum).While this might seem excessive, it's really not. Not only can goldfish grow very large, but they are extremely high waste producers, and as such, when overstocked in a tank that is just too small, and without a filter along with weekly water changes, the toxins build up quickly and kill the fish.
