What is the best way to care for a fish bowl?

Answer 1

It depends on the size of the bowl, and also whether there is more than one fish in it and what size they are- generally speaking, a water change should be about once a month for a single coldwater fish, though you might need to make it more often if there's more than one living in the bowl. There is no need to do a COMPLETE water change- changing about 2/3rds of the contents is ample, and avoids having to remove the fish whilst you do it, which can be stressful for it.

Answer 2

Betta fish can have bowls for homes. There is no need to put a dent in your wallet just to get a fish tank. The best idea for the health of your fish (and to save some money) is to get a two gallon bowl. The best way to clean the bowl is to remove the Betta into a cup with it's tank water, then throughly clean the bowl and decorations.
Add back all the decorations and gravel, fill the bowl with water that is the same temperature as the old water, and add in the recommended dosage of aquarium water conditioner per the instructions on the bottle. Scoop your betta from the cup & place into the clean bowl of water.

Answer 3

Yes tanks/bowls should have there water changed one a week. put the fish in a glass of water while changing the tank/bowls water. never use cleaning products, just us warm water and swish it around ( in bowl ) (or if its a tank drain most of the water out and fill it back up with room temp water) and add the fish walla Vile_style

This is for betta fish cause they are the only fish that can stay in a bowl but you can use it for other fish not that you should put an other fish 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!

Answer 5

it depends. if its a goldfish, maybe like once a month.

when it gets cloudy, that's a sign that you should change it.
