So You Want Pet Fish - Fish in Bowls

Fish In Bowls


Many countries have banned the keeping of fish in bowls stating that it is cruel and unhealthy for the fish because it can be difficult to provide for the fish correctly. Usually the smaller the container the quicker the water quality will deteriorate through evaporation and pollution caused by waste and uneaten food.  Goldfish can live for up to 20 years, but often die prematurely because their owners keep them in bowls or very small fish tanks. In this case bigger is better.
