	What can I put in my Fish Bowl?
inlikefish Hobbyist Posts: 132 Kudos: 64 Votes: 2 Registered: 18-Oct-2003	I have a fish bowl that used to have my Beta in it (he died a few days ago.) Maybe one gallon of water if that, is there anything else I can put in it aside from another Beta?

It can grow 3.5 inches and 1g is way too small for them. Maybe you can put a smaller type of crayfish in there.

sham Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3369 Kudos: 2782 Votes: 98 Registered: 21-Apr-2004	All other labyrinth fish are more active than bettas and so would need much larger tanks. I would say a 10g for a dwarf and the only gouramis that would fit in less would be the smallest ones like sparkling, licorice, or croaking gouramis. They also would require heat which is hard to provide in such a small container. In my opinion a betta doesn't even belong in 1g. The only thing I'd put in would be a pair of shrimp.
