Default May get a Goldfish

Hey guys, I got a spare fishbowl hanging around in my Reptile room doing nothing, thinking of getting a goldfish

so I need:

Pebbles for the bottom
Pump/Filter
Decor
Food & Medication

So I guess I'll get all this stuff during the week, let me know if you think I need anything else

Goldfish are very messy fish, one will need a lot more water to stay healthy than in a bowl - even with a filter.

You'd be better off with a Siamese Fighter, just fit a small heater in there.

Aye, bowls are really only good for bettas, shrimp, or snails.

I'd get shrimp but I dont find them interesting at all, I mean ive had Sea Monkeys which are overmarketed brine shrimp which are pretty cool but a bit pointless

I still think the best thing in a bowl is frosties


But yeah a bowl isn't suitable really for goldfish. Big fish, they really need to be kept outside or a big tank.
