As a goldfish owner, you have a few choices, where to put your goldfish. As you can see there are pictures above. First, it is an image of a fishbowl, and the second image is a aquarium. As a beginning fish owner, you might buy a fishbowl, or one of those plastic "all-animal" containers. If you do chose to buy one, you must remember this might be temporary. This might occur, because you might chose to buy more fish. You must remember this as fact-a goldfish needs it's own gallon of water, in order to live maintain it's living space and capacity. But, a fish can adapt with less water than it requires.
Fishbowls
A fishbowl is a good and efficient place to keep your goldfish
for meanwhile. Fishbowls are mostly made out of glass, but some
are also made of plastic. Fishbowls come in diffrent sizes, from
the compact ½ gallon bowl, to the decent 2-gallon or better
bowl. Most ½ gallon bowls can hold up to 1-2 fish easily. A 2
gallon bowl can hold up to 4 fish comfortably. Fishbowls can be
easily decorated, with gravel and a few plants. Accessories, such
as a pump and filter can be added. Most fishbowls can be found at
your local pet store, or speciality store, like Kmart and
Woolworth's for at most $6.99 or less. Those "all
animal" conatiners is like a fishbowl, made out of plastic,
in a rectangular shape, and can be easily decorated like
fishbowls. Those come in two sizes and are available, again at
your local pet store for $4.99 or less. But, advice is, for now
as a beginner or amateur a fishbowl should be upgraded for at
least a 1 gallon aquarium.
Aquariums
The pros have it, should you? Well
,it depends on your situation. If you have a lot of fish crowded
in this little fishbowl, you should be thinking of upgrading.
Aquariums are a big benefit for fish, because they can handle
diffrent gallons of water. Those sizes include: 1, 2, 10, 20
gallons. Because of spacious capacity, you can space decorations
like: rocks, plants, and other ornaments, to make your aquarium
more lively and fun. Some aquariums are square-shaped and made
with glass. But, some are made out of plastic, and are shaped in
certain shapes. The benefit of an aquarium is that it doesn't
have to have ONLY goldfish, but other fishes, like neons. Also
with aquariums, they are useful with some necessary acessories,
like heaters, water purifiers, and food dispensers. These can be
found at your local petstores. So, as you can see, an aquarium
can be both fun and relaxing for both for you and your fish. If
the question of fishbowl or aquarium still lingers on, just
consider these options, choose one that is within your budget,
that is comfortable for your fish, and it can handle the growth
if the number of fish that you want to own.
