The Goldfish Aquarium, or Coldwater Auarium
General points
Despite being very hardy and able to survive in a glass fish bowl for several months, they deserve better. Water in a fish bowl soon becomes soiled and lacks oxygen due to the insufficient air-water contact surface for gas exchanges. Use of a rectangular tank is recommended, in order to avoid these problems.
