Hello! Sorry, I accidentaly posted this in your saltwater section.
I just started an officey job and we're allowed to have fish at our desks. Beta fish are ideal because they can inhabit a simple bowl which fit nicely on my desk, but I would rather have a fish that's more interesting to look at such as a catfish. What I'm wondering is, can a catfish live in a bowl without a filter? (I understand betas and goldfish are built to gulp air for oxygen.) Is there a way I can oxygenate a fishbowl without a filter? I was looking into possibly using live plants to introduce the oxygen, but I'm not sure if it will be enough. Please help!
Much thanks,
~Michele
