Fish bowls are rubbish for keeping fish in. This is because the surface area of the water is extremely small so the water is not well oxygenated, also they are not filtered. If you must use a fish bowl to house a fish only fill it to the widest point of the bowl, do not over feed, a small pinch every other day is plenty and change one third of the water every week and more often if the weather is hot. The only fish that will survive if you follow my advice is a bulk stander-ed run of the mill as small as you can find goldfish, any thing else will certainly die.

You shouldn't keep any type of fish in a bowl. Even the smallest need a tank with correct equipment.

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.


Can clown fish live in a bowl?

There are species of parrot fish that live in saltwater, but there is also a parrot fish that lives in freshwater. Neither of these two types of fish would live for long in a small fish bowl. Both saltwater and freshwater parrot fish require at least a 30 gallon aquarium properly equipped with filtration and a heater.Freshwater parrot fish are commonly kept by hobbyists because they are easy to keep and make great pets. These fish are the believed to be the result of interbreeding two different species of cichlids.Another huge reason that freshwater parrot fish would not do well in a fish bowl is that they can grow to a length of over 8 inches. They are semi-aggressive and do well in most community aquariums.

Its not recommended to keep any fish in a bowl. Because of the small amount of water, temperature and chemicals easily change.

Also bowls are way too small for any fish to live in.


Can you fit 4 fish in one gallon fish bowl measuring 12 by 12 inches?

It may be possible to keep 4 small fish in a one gallon fish bowl, depending on the type, size and needs of the fish you choose. It will also depend on whether or not the fish bowl has a filter, and if your fish can live without a heater. For example, because they do not get large, 4 white cloud minnows can be kept in a one gallon bowl with a filter and they do not require a heater. You can also keep a male beta or Siamese fighting fish with a few white cloud minnows; or 2 small goldfish which can grow too large or the bowl.
