Plants breathe out oxygen into the water; the fish need oxygen to survive. Plants like carbon dioxide CO2 , so if the fish tolerate the acidity, bubble CO2 (from a yeast and sugar mixture) into the aquarium and the plants will grow real well - trap the CO2 under half a plastic bottle so that it has time to dissolve in the water for extra added effect).

Does growing plants in fish bowl give enough oxygen to the fish?
i recommend that you have a filtration system in the bowl as during the day plants will give off oxygen while it photosynthasises but at night it gives off gasses and the fish needs to the oxygen to breath. the plant will not be enough for the fish and if you do not have the room for a basic filtration system then the bowl is to small for the fish
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 :)

The water plants have cells. Plants live. Rocks are not alive.
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.
Can mollies live in a bowl?
No. You should never put any fish in a bowl. 1. They don"t live as long in bowls rather than they do in tanks. 2. With a bowl you would have to clean it out every three days. 3. The fish will be miserable in a bowl so a bowl is a bad idea. If you cant afford a tin gallon tank then get a five gallon it"s small and it will make your fish much happier rather than living in a bowl. Your fish will thank you for not putting them in a bowl. Hope this helped.
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. I think that there are even certain types of garden plants that may work in fish tanks, but that requires more research to make sure it is safe for your fish.
How much water do you put in a fish bowl?

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.
