The bigger the better for all fish. The Butterfly fish (Chaetdontidae sp) are quite a large species having many members and most grow to around 6 inches or so. I would not advise anyone trying to keep marine fish in a tank any smaller than 50 USgallons. As I said, bigger is better because bigger is easier although it will obviously cost more to set up. A larger mass of water means there are less fluctuations in the water parameters. I would suggest a 100 US gallon tank would be best to start with.

Should you put your fish in a bowl or tank?

it depends on how big it is if it is a goldfish or beta it can be in a bowl.If it is one of those big tiger fish or aqarium fish then put it in a big tank. A fish will grow to the size of the tank or bowl. For instance, say a goldfish is in a tank, it will not grow as big as the tank; however it will grow big enough to be able to swim in their environment. The fish will not overgrow the tank. I had a six inch goldfish in a thirty gallon tank.
