Keeping a Japanese fish bowl, vase or similar2007-11-24 23:38:00

You can keep a betta, a few guppies (male or female, not both), a few mollies, or a few swordtails.

I recommend getting a tank that is anywhere from 1 to 10 gallons. For a small "ornamental" type tank, I'd get either a 2.5 or a 5 gallon.

Betta- All you need is gravel (pretty glass beads are availible at the petstore or local craft store, this is pretty, but i would put regular gravel underneth). Put the tank in a stable place, put in the gravel (rinse it first), add the water (neutral temp. and dechlorinated), add the decor. Let the tank sit for about two days so that your sure the tank is stable. Add betta. Because theres no filter, water changes should be done weekly.

Guppies, Mollies, Swordtails, Tetras (Other small fish)-

You will need a small filter (power or undergravel) and a heater. Ask at the petstore, they'll help you. Gravel (pretty glass beads are availible at the petstore or local craft store, this is pretty, but i would put regular gravel underneth). Put the tank in a stable place, put in the gravel (rinse it first), add the water (neutral temp. and dechlorinated), add the decor. Let the tank sit for about two days so that your sure the tank is stable. Depending on your tank size you can add a combination of small fish.

Don't get one - they are bad for the fish - but they do look very pretty.
