Yes, every fish tank should have a filter, but depending on the kind of fish it can be exempt. If not an air bubbler is a good idea. The filter cleans the tank, along with putting oxygen in the water, and the air bubbler also puts necessary oxygen into the water.

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.

Is a small betta fish bowl good for goldfish?
A small fish bowl is bad for any fish. You need minimal 5 gallon for a single betta. You need minimal 20~30 gallon for a single fancy goldfish, 40~55 gallon for a single common goldfish. Because fish produce ammonia and it is toxic to themselves. Goldfish has such large body mass, so they produce enormous amount of ammonia. You must have a good filter system, and do a nitrogen cycle first before adding any fish at all.

Can two tetras live in a bowl?
No fish can live successfully in a bowl. Far better you either throw the bowl away or use it as a vase. If you really want to keep fish get a reasonable sized aquarium to keep your fish in. There is a basic rule that all successfull fish keepers use and that rule is "1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water" For you to keep 2 Tetras successfully you would need at least a nominal 5 gallon tank with a heater/thermostat (set at 75F), thermometer, Cycled filter, coverglass, Lights, gravel, and live plants.
How many 6 to 4 inch fish can you have in a 1.5 gallon fish bowl?
The rule to follow for freshwater fish is 1 inch per gallon. For goldfish is it one fish per 10 gallons, and for bettas it is 1 fish per 1 gallon. Fish bowls really are not the best home for any fish. Fish need to be kept in tanks with heaters and fliters.
Is a filter good on a fish bowl?
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.
You have 1 betta fish can it live with your other 2 goldfish in the same bowl?
The first rule of fish keeping is "1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water" Your 'bowl' is not big enough to keep one fish healthy let alone two and a Betta. Goldfish are coldwater fish and need temperatures around 55F. Bettas are tropical fish and need temperatures around 80F so you can see that they should not be kept together anyway.Simple answer is NO. They need totally different living conditions. 1 Betta needs a 5 gallon (nominal) tank. Two goldfish need a 25 gallon tank.
Can you mate betta fish in a bowl?
