honestly, i dont advise this. the noise of the filter if the water level gets low, messes made by buckets, strangely high electricity/water bills. and in situations like these, something always goes wrong. your tank springs a leak, they will probably end up finding it and be madder than ever. also, you will need to make regular store trips for food, conditioner, among others. 

what you can do:

prove your responsibility:
walk/feed/clean up after your dog

do the dishes

make the beds

clean the house

basically offer to do anything. and if your brother or sister finds out and you happen to get into an argument with one of them, guess what their weapon will be.

First, I can't answer a question like this without first giving some discouragement. This is a bad idea. Talk with your parents and see if they'll let you have a fish if you care for it and pay for everything.

Also, how are we supposed how is the best way to sneak a fish into your house?
We have no way of knowing how your house looks.

But still, get the tank set up and cycled (http://www.theaquariumwiki.com/Cycling) before getting a fish.

I'd recommend not doing this at all, but a 5 or 10 gallon tank and a betta if you insist.
You can't keep a fish healthy in a bowl or anything smaller than a 5 gallon tank without plenty of experience and a lot of maintenance.
EDIT: wkdwchofwest, Goldfish don't breath from the top of the water, and need large tanks (20 gallons for one fancy goldfish and 55 gallons for one common goldfish). Please don't answer questions in the fish section if you don't know about fish.

well if its a small fish find a drink bottle you could put him in and just walk in holding it like its a drink a gatorade bottle has a pretty big opening you might could slip him in there or maybe a soda cup from somewhere  just use bottled water if he needs air like a tropical fish better be quick but a betta or a gold fish would be better since they breath from the top of the water
