Betta fish are about the only kind of fish that can survive with no filter. They prefer still water or a very gentle current, so as long as you are keeping their water warm and clean (at least 80* F) they will thrive in a one gallon, unfiltered bowl. Change the water at least weekly to keep a one-gallon betta tank clean. Change more often in anything smaller (and it's not recommended to keep them in anything smaller).

it is always good to get some kind of filter for your fish, but natural ponds dont' always need one. the filters will keep out some bad bacteria though, and keep your fish healthy longer, and allow you to actually see them. goldfish are very hardy and can withstand quite a bit.

What is the best kind of fish for a fish bowl?
No fish is best for a bowl, buy at-least a one gallon tank with filter, and you will clean it once every 2 to 4 weeks, a bowl will have to be cleaned every week. Also, your fish can swim better with more room, become less bored, and will be happier. If this is above your budget, fish is not for you.

Are the plants in fish bowls real?
It depends on what kind of plants in the fish bowl and what kind of fish. Pet stores sell decorative plastic plants as well as aquarium plants (real plants) for fish tanks.
