Do you think pet fish care in a bowl is a good environment for fishes? In reality, many children and people are raising pet fishes in a fish bowl, which is not at all good for fish health.
Maintaining fish in a fish bowl is the utmost initial step to keeping fish as a hobby for many people. Moreover, keeping fish in a fish bowl is the simplest way you could give utmost care to pet fishes in your house.
History of Keeping Fish in Fish Bowl
Keeping fishes as pets goes back at least 4000 years. Initially Chinese maintained the fishes in containers as hobby. But the glass bowl was invented during mid 18th century by Madame Dubarry, Mistress to King Louis XV.
Although there are numerous theories around keeping the fishes in fish bowl, there are probably millions of people around the world keeping a fish with a fish bowl, which would be their first venture with fish keeping. As far as my knowledge is concerned (I am keeping fishes in bowl for the past 5 years only.), life in a fish bowl isn’t worst with a right condition and right fish.
Happy fish keeping!!!

I’ve never had any luck with keeping fish. They seem to like to die on me. My uncle and grandfather on the other hand used to have several 100+ gallon tanks they kept going filled with all kinds of amazing fish.
