Can you put a goldfish in a one gallon bowl?

Answer 1

Nothing. The smallest size that's OK for a fish is 5 gallons and that's only for a betta. Any other fish need much more room. In a one gallon, you can put plants and some snails, but not much more.

Answer 2

That is comonly misconstrewed, BETA FISH WILL NOT EAT OTHER FISH.Sure, if it a little tiny guppy it might but it won't fight with any other fish except another male betta. the best kind of fish are fish that won't nip fins of other fish and any slower moving fish that is calm and not too territoal.Namly: goldfish, platys, mollies, sword tails, tetras, BIGER guppys, corys, and algae eating fish. Do not keep fish in fish bowls unless you want to torture them! Fish will live in their own feces unless you change the water frequently. But if you change the water frequently, they'll suffer from a shock everytime they get into a new water. That's why they need filters and fish bowls cannot have filters. They also need a heater! Bettas also appreciate plants and caves to swim in and around. Goldfish should not be kept with bettas because they are COLD water fish and the bettas are WARM water fish. The betta needs a heater while the goldfish will suffer in warm water. Cory cats, algae eating fish, mollies, and tetras all need at least 30 gallons. Platys need 15-20. The bettas will do fine with all of them if they all have plenty of room. As a matter of fact, yes there ARE heaters and filters made especially for fishbowls! They are the Hydor 7.5W Mini Heater and the Hagen Elite Mini Filter. They also make undergravel filters for bowls (Lee's Round Undergravel filter, 2 gallon).

Answer 3

None!! Fish bowls are too small for any breed of fish to live in..especially not goldfish!! 1 fancy goldfish (those with fancy 4 finned tails, such as oranda) needs at least 40 litres of water to live in...double those litres for normal, single-tailed common goldfish (comets etc).

Fish bowls should have been banned along time ago!!

Answer 4

Yes but the fish would not be happy, this is now considered cruel to fish. Try to get a larger bowl at least 2 gallons or a reasonably sized standard tank with a few decorations.

Answer 5

Bowls are not big enough for fish and can stress them out. If your going to buy a fish at least buy a 10 Gallon tank for it. They are only about $10. No fish is good in a bowl.
