![]() Basically putting a goldfish in a bowl will make them implode. Goldfish don't grow to their surroundings, they stop growing as a survival mechanism, but there's a catch, their organs don't stop growing. Goldfish can't live in a bowl under any circumstances, no matter the type or size of your goldfish. They are very commonly put into bowls and are thought to die in a few months. Being kept in a bowl is simply UNACCEPTABLE.ĭon't listen to this article. Goldfish can live for up to a decade with proper care. It's a very slow very painful way to die. But as time goes on they can suffer deformation of bones and even ruptured organs. Stunting prevent growth which is where this myth starts. The myth of fish growing to the size of there tank is EXTREMELY detrimental to their health. Glofish get anywhere from 8 inches to a foot long depending on breed. They most likely took real good care of the fish. I remember her telling me that the fish was about 8 years old. Her and her mother had one gold fish in a bowl. This is the same mentality as keeping a fish in a small bowl.Ībout 13 years ago, I was visiting a friend. Is this article a joke? Did you also know you can keep a cat alive in a small box?

I also learnt that with a filter, pump and the right amount of water changes a goldfish can live in a bowl.for its full lifespan. So then after further research I realised that stunting isn’t bad and that the fish’s organs don’t continue to grow and the fish doesn’t experience pain when stunted. ![]() But then i realised that some people managed to keep a stunted goldfish in a bowl for over 10 years. I’ll admit it: I used to be obsessed with telling people that goldfish shouldn’t be kept in bowls. it's biger than others, they had it outdoors. my point, I didn't like that, I the tank they gave us(10 gal) is too big for our room, so we did an emergency purchase of a plastic fish bowl(3 gal) I think, an put the air pump in there for it, so far it is doing okay, it's only temporary.we did get a thermometer too, along with goldfish pellets, but the thermometer was broken. from my sister, they'd been cleaning where'd it been, and I found out for two weeks they kept it in a vase with just an air pump.
