No fish belongs in a bowl.

You will see more activity and different behaviors from your fish if you put him in a filtered, heated tank of at least 2.5 gallons. By using a filter, his water will always be clean, and you shouldn't have to worry about lethal ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels (provided you do regular water changes), whereas in a bowl, ammonia levels are building daily and doing permanent damage. Also, bettas are tropical fish - their water should be kept at a steady minimum of 78 degrees. Fluctuations of more than 4 degrees in a 24-hour period could lower damage their immune systems, thus leading them to be more prone to diseases.

Also, let it be known that most rice paddies are thousands of gallons in volume, so those rice paddies that you people talk about are much larger than puddles.
