How much is a small fish bowl?
The price of a small fish bowl is about $24.99! A small fish bowl with nothing in it that holds a gallon of water, costs about $6-$10. You can get them at PetSmart or Walmart. Betta fish don't need a filter but other fish do. So, that will add on to the price of the bowl. Most people like to put something in the bowl, again, that will cost you extra. So, it really depends on how much you want or need in the bowl.
How do you set up a fish bowl?
I will asume this is for a goldfish or a beta. If it is some other kind if fish it may need filteratin, areation or circulating water, so make sure it will be okay in a bowl rather than an Aquarium. first you need a bowl, some aquarium rocks or marbles for substrate (to cover the bottom of the bowl) chlorine free water. and whatever decorative items you want (plants of some kind of figurine. this is not a necesity) Put the rocks in the bottom of the bowl, an inch or a half inch deep. Put in the deccorations if you have some. Now for the water, you can't just use water streight from the tap because tap water has chemicals (like chlorine ) in it so nothing can live in it, including fish. There are a number of options here. You can set the water out in an open container for 24 hours and the chlorine will simply evaporate, leaving it safe for your fish. You can buy drops that remove chlorine from the water instantly, or you can buy bottled water (make sure that it is pure water and chemical free). Now you need to add ther fish. it is important that the temprature of the water the fish comes home in be aproximately the same as the water in the bowl, so don't just dump him streight in. If the bowl is large enough, flote the bag with the fish in it in the top of the bowl for about 15 minutes before putting him in the bowl. if not set it beside the bowl for 15 minutes the result will be aproximately the same. one more thing. when you buy the fish, make sure you also ger the apropriate food for it. the bowl will need to be cleaned frequently, once a week to once a month depending on the type and number of fish and the size if the bowl. Just catch the fish and put them, with some of their water into another container, dump the rest of the water, rinse the bowl and rocks with plain tap water. DO NOT USE SOAP!!!! and put it all back together.
How do you change the water in the bowl for your betta fish?
How to change your Betta fish's bowlFirst, fill a cup with your fishes water, and then gentle without hurting your Betta, scoop him up with your net, and then put him in the cup. Then, take the plant out of the bowl, and lay it aside on a paper towel or napkin. Afterwards, take a strainer, and pour the water into the strainer over a sink. Then, wash out the pebbles with nontoxic soap and water. Put your pebbles aside for now. After you did that, fill your fish bowl with warm water only for 5 seconds. Then, take your sponge, and dip it in the warm water, take the same nontoxic soap you used for the pebbles, and add a little to the sponge, and then scrub! Until the algae is gone. then, rinse thoroughly until the suds are gone. Afterwards, put your plastic plant in your fish bowl, and then, dump your pebbles into the fish bowl. After that has been completed, stick your index finger into the fish's cup water (without hitting the fish!) and run the sink to the same temperature as the cup water, and fill it all most all the way. Gently, pick your Betta fish up with your net and then place him into his nice, clean home!Note:If you have clearifire for your fish bowl, use as directed.
If you put tadpoles with fish what will happen?
If you leave the tadpoles in with the fish they will compete for the same food and oxygen in the water. Make sure you have enough room in the bowl for your fish and tadpoles. When the tadpole grows it would like a spot to bask out of the water and rest.

How do you clean a circular fish bowl?
This is for betta fish but you can use it for other fish too but why would you keep a fish in a bowl tha's not a betta? Betta are the only fish that can stay in a bowl: When you first get the fish clean out the bowl (make sure there's no dust or anything). How to clean the bowl the first time: At the first time you need completely new water for the fish. Wipe the bowl and make sure it doesn't have dust, residue, or anything dirty make it super clean and shiny. You'll need to put warmish water into the bowl and add water cleaner so it doesn't harm the fish. You can buy water cleaner from your local pet store (the one you got the fish from). And your bowl is ready to go. Second time cleaning the bowl: Make sure you have a container to put your fish in when you clean the water. It has to be big enough so your fish can swim in it. Now you take just a little bit of the old water and keep it for the bowl after. Okay, now you take the fish out with a net and put it in a container with water in it. Now you take out the extra water in the bowl that has poop in it and stuff and put it down the sink or something. Then you clean the bowl if you have to and add water wih water cleaner into the bowl. Also leave some room for the old water from the bowl before it was cleaned so the betta doesn't get shocked or anything from the water change. Then, add water cleaner to the bowl again. Now take your fish out of the container with the net and put your fish back to where he was. That's about it. And also after a few weeks change ALL of the water and keep it warmish. If you change the water temperature to cold right away he'll go into shock for the change of temperature! hope I helped :)

How often are you supposed to clean a smoking bowl?
Bowls are the most difficult thing to keep fish in. The only fish that can easily be kept in a bowl is a Siamese Fighting Fish. Goldfish should be kept in an aquarium with filtration. The secret to keeping a bowl is to do regular water changes. NEVER change all the water in the bowl. My prefered method is scoop out about half of the water from the bowl into a clean container. Place the fish in the container. Then using a clean sponge wipe down the sides of the bowl and stir up the gravel. Tip the water out of the bowl (water your plants with it). Half fill the bowl with treated water (never put chlorinated tap water straight in). Then top it up with the water you saved from the bowl and put the fish back in. A fish bowl will go smoky because your balance of "good" and "bad" bacteria is out of balance. The smoke is actually "bad" bacteria in the water. It takes about six weeks for the "good" bacteria to develope properly. NEVER clean out all the water from your bowl or wash the gravel, this will kill the good bacteria. Also be very careful with how much food you give the fish. Use only a good quality food and feed very small amounts. It is surprising how little food your fish requires. Excess food and cheapo food will cause your water to go smokey much faster. Depending on the size of your bowl, you should clean it every week.
