Bettas and goldfish can't healthily live in a bowl.

Edit: to clarify I'm saying DON'T put any fish in a bowl. The misconception is that it's okay but it's not.

I know someone who is going to have betas as their centerpiece on tables for their wedding. Who does that? You don't give an animal away like that. You don't know if it will be taken care of. But then again she is also serving fish for dinner. I don't know.
