Your Bowl is not suited to keeping a fish in. I advise you to use it as a vase. If you wish to keep a (some) fish successfully you will have to observe and comply with some absolute minimums that the basic rules of fish keeping stipulate. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water:- Every tank needs a properly cycled filter running permanently:- Every tank needs to have at least 50% of its water replaced every week. Anything less than the above will not work. The fish will get sick and die in a shorter or longer time depending upon how far out from the basic rules you go.

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.


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.


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.

Can an Oscar live in a 1 gallon bowl Pls take note that it is without a heater or filter I've heard they only get to about an inch long and though it would do ok in a bowl Please help?

Absolutely not. One oscar fish needs at least a 75 gallon (US) tank on it's own as they can grow up to a foot in size. If you have already bought the fish, please return it to the store and let them know that you do not have a large enough aquarium for it. You are best to use the 1 gallon bowl as a change bowl, and instead spend a bit of money on a betta tank kit for one betta fish, or 2 if you get one with a divider as they cannot be in the same tank together.

It depends how big your bowl is if it is below 5 gallons then you should put one. But if it is 1 or 2 gallons then you will have to move it into a 5 gallon tank or bowl at the least.

Only bettas if living alone and bowl holds at least one quart of water, weekly water changes, water conditioner, correct feeding and appropriate room temperature. Just as a sidenote, you risk a fish jumping out with an open top fish bowl.


Can any kind of fish survive in a fish bowl with no filters?

Betta fish are about the only kind of fish that can survive with no filter. They prefer still water or a very gentle current, so as long as you are keeping their water warm and clean (at least 80* F) they will thrive in a one gallon, unfiltered bowl. Change the water at least weekly to keep a one-gallon betta tank clean. Change more often in anything smaller (and it's not recommended to keep them in anything smaller).

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.
