What kind of beautiful and colorful fish can live in a fish bowl? I want to get a fish bowl for my little cousin. I want the fish to be easy to take care of and I want it to be colorful. Can guppies live in fish bowls? No goldfish please.Can I put 2 guppies in a fish bowl?

Why not a goldfish? My daughter has a small and very beautiful celestial eye goldfish. It is sooo easy to take care of. Feed it once a day, and clean the bowl as needed. Easy, colorful, and fun. Celestial eye goldfish go for about 5 dollars. They also have 2 tails, and it's entertaining to watch them glide around.

A betta might be a good bet. Most fish need a constant supply of oxygen, through an aeration device, which a fishbowl won't be able to provide. Bettas are relatively easy to take care of and are beautiful fish.

Try bettas. Bettas are aggresive toward other males so you can only get one but are easy to care for. They don't need much space and great for first timers.

Betta

a beta is always a good choice, they breath from the surface so they will do well in a bowl with no aeration and they are very colorful and hearty

not guppies,the only one other than GOLDFISH is the BETTA, becuase they breath the air from the surface. They need proper Betta food (they cannot live by eating plants as some people seem to think) but need to be kept alone

If you want only one fish, Betas are the easiest and funnest. If you want a few, your looking at goldfish, there are a few others, but they are pretty high maintance. Betas can only live alone. They kill each other. Careful!!

Good Fish for Fish Bowls. One Male Betta or one Female Betta, a few Ghost Shrimp, and a Black Mystery Snail are appropriate for a large fish bowl. Another good combination for a fish is three White Clouds, a few Ghost Shrimp, and a Mystery Snail.Live Aponogeton Plants, Java Ferns, and an Umbrella Fern add natural beauty. A Dwarf African Frog can live in a fish bowl but will need to eat live Black Worms twice a week.Please go to the following source link for great information on bowls and maintaining.

Goldfish,guppies of different sorts,beta's,but betas must live alone. Fresh water fish could live only for a very short while in a bowl, You should always add a little fresh water everyday for oxygen for any fish in a bowl. Goldfish and guppies are the main ones that adapt to a bowl without a filter and airpump supply.
