4 TYPES OF FISH WHICH CAN LIVE IN A BOWL



Lets be straight I hate bowls, And keeping a fish in it nahhh!!!!!
They are really small, and fish can’t even Roam around quite properly and they get dirty pretty quickly. 
And the fish living in the bowl often come closer to the surface as they don’t get enough oxygen supply.
All tropical fish do not fit in a bowl, because they need more oxygen to breadth, only the small fish can be fitted in the bowl,
And here are some of them

1)GUPPY





Guppies are pretty small fish which can fit right in the bowl and also they require lil amount of oxygen, they have a beautiful dorsalfin and a person can easily distinguish between male and female as the male guppies are very beautiful and have a well lit up colour. These fish reproduce very quickly and they have a life span of 2years. There are more than 100 varieties of guppies all around the world. 

2)BETTA FISH


Commonly called as FIGHTING FISH, it is one of my favourite variety of fish either because of their beautiful fin colour or their behaviour. They are territorial fish and they don't enjoy other fish roaming in their territory, not even his own kind.they are preferred to be kept alone and that can breadth oxygen directly from the air that's why they are kept in bowls.

3)NEON TETRA


Tetras are pretty beautiful fish perfect for beginners, as they are small good looking and they preferably go about in groups 3-5 fish come together to form a school of tetras, They are pretty entertaining to watch.

4)GOLDFISH


Pretty famous fish as they are known by their colour, these fish look beautiful in bowls as they are very active and easy to look after, one can even gift him as a token of love, but they do mess up the place quickly since we cant implant a filter I recommend you to clean the bowl weekly.

KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER

*The fish mentioned above are very small fish size ranging from 2-5 cm big
* water should be changed once per 4 days as to dissolve oxygen for fish to breath
*I prefer to use aquatic plants in the bowl
*do not overfeed, because these fish are small they require less fish food
*Keep in mind to check water temperature (tetras, guppies)
