the only fish that i know of that can really survive in a bowl with very little matinence and cheap food is a betta.

Betta and they are pretty

None. You are not interested in the proper care of the animal. What a horrible Easter present. Slowly kill an animal (the symbol of Christ I might add) slowly from indifference and neglect. That’s not a Christian value. You obviously have no clue what Easter means.

i got my son a goldfish….flakes and bowl and all that good stuff came to less than 20 bucks

i got an algea eater though…to help keep it clean because the gold fish are a little bit dirty and the water gets gross pretty quick

and that is the best…my son now has a responibility, he acts like its the best thing ever…..so cute….when it comes time to feed the fish i break up the flakes and put it in the cap and he then pours it in….and whatever flakes are left we scoop them out with the net

when you change your water, what i do is put water in a container the day before i do a water change and the water conditioner to get rid of any chlorine and other chemicals that can harm the fish

Betta is great low maintenance fish!
you could go to Petco or any other pet store.
petco’s price of betta is round 10bucks under depending on the kind of betta and the bowl ranges from 10-20bucks.
the food is round 2bucks and the water conditioner is round 3bucks.
so my estimation is that you need like around 20-40bucks.

betta that is it

Bettas and Gold fish are great but if oyu get a gold fish you might want to get some kind of algae eater as well. Because as many people say they do poop alot. I had goldfish growing up and i liked them then. But i prefer guppies and neon tetras now. they are beautiful and colorful. they get along great. And you can get some cool snails to put in there with them instead of an algae eater. Just dont put a gold fish in with these types of fish cause they will eat the smaller fish. Good luck and have fun!

Wow, I can’t believe so many people recommend a goldfish… A small bowl is no where near the size of a tank they should be kept in. There are too many misconceptions out there about them. On top of that I would never keep a fish in a bowl period.

Your best bet is to go to a local fish store and they usually sell cheap bundles for a 10 gallon. It usually includes; tank, heating, filter, hood, gravel.

Then pick up either a few White Clouds, Danios, or Rasboras.

I think it’s probably a bad idea since any fish needs maintenance. But your best bet is a Betta fish…they’re the fancy colorful ones the pet stores usually keep in the very small bowls. Keep in mind these fish are not very active, they just kind of…stay in one spot most of the time. They don’t require a filter, but they do require water cleanings. But DO NOT USE SOAP OR DETERGENTS! This is lethal to fish! You should get something to dechlorinate the water, though (it’s not expensive), and of course fish food. I think anything more than that fish will require an actual tank, filter, etc. (even a goldfish).
Good luck! I hope this helped!

A BETTA IS THE BEST WAY TO GO, A BETTA CAN BREATHE AIR FROM THE SURFACE, SO THERE IS NO NEED FOR A FILTER OR A AIR PUMP.
