Title: Gold Fish, Tank or Bowl?
Post by: Rainy_Turtloid on 14 August 2012, 04:03:28 PM
Do you keep your goldfish in a tank/bowl?

See who abuses goldfish here.

One goldfish only needs about 3 gallons of water to comfortably live in, per inch of body length. That could be a larger bowl, and if you use a clip-on filtration and oxygenation system, well, there you go.

So, I keep mine in a bowl.

My fish are in a tank. I'll take a picture of it someday.

Ok well this is tank in my opinion lets just do this:

Bowl = 1 gallon

Tank = 3+ gallons with filtration and oxygenation system

I always saw tanks and bowls as two different shapes of containers... I mean, bowl by definition implies a curved, round shape. Tank, by contrast, is a square or rectangular container. Tanks can hold more water, but bowls can't get very big - 3 or 4 gallons is the maximum.
