I keep an old turkey baster next to my little fish bowl. Every few days I will use it to suck out some water and the dirts accumulated on the bottom of the tank and feed my plants. Then I can replace a cup or two of clean, aerated water into the bowl, reducing my need to change the whole fishbowl and feeding my houseplants at the same time!
Great for kids with a 'first time pet fish' too!

That is a nice idea, but there are a few problems with your idea. Your fish needs a much bigger tank, especially a goldfish. They are an extremely dirty fish. Put him in a 10 gallon tank, complete with light and filter, and you'll have a much happier fish. You could still siphon out a bit of water for your plant.
Please dont keep a goldfish in a bowl like this!! Theyre fish that require very large tanks, and as the other person mentioned, goldfish are very dirty fish. This water is already very foggy, probably from ammonia.
