Information about Wall hanging fish bowls and other fish bowl aquariums
Fish bowls are a great alternative to keeping a complete aquarium set up that can be very costly and time consuming. A fish bowl is small and fits on most desks and tables and allows people to keep fish without the cost and time requirement of owning a full aquarium set up.

Fish Bowl Environment
Fish bowls have a few characteristics that limit the type and quantity of fish that one can keep inside of a fish bowl. Wall fish bowls and everyday fishbowls have:
- Small water volume
- No filtration system or air pump (unless one is added)
- No heater (unless one is added)
What does this mean for me?
The above characteristics of fish bowls mean that many fish will not be able to live in your fishbowl because most tropical fish require water that is warmer than room temperature, a filter that creates air circulation, and large water volume. Also, many fish grow several inches in length, which requires an upgrade to a larger aquarium.
