Oscar in Goldfish bowl

[MICEY]

micro worms do great in a goldfish bowl
and the difference between a bowl and a tank of the same size is the shape , bowls usually have a small opening at the top which has a much smaller oxygen exchange than a tank
they do have filters for bowls and mini heaters

Bowls also have a smaller capacity and therefore, water can become deadly much faster. Sure this is true with smaller tanks but they should have a filter if you have fish in the tank.

I was just at a big box store and this poor guy bought a Betta and a ten gal. He wanted a heater and they were trying to convince him that he needed all these different water purifiers and java moss balls and more fish I was like just no. I tried to talk to him but no luck. Then I told an employee about my tank and they go "oh well African cichlids are great community fish" and "a goldfish or two would do great with a few oscars and your fish". I had told her that I had guppies, cories, tetras and rams. I told her African cichlids are not appropriate for a community tank and goldfish are cold water. She told me I was nuts and should listen to her as she knew what she was doing! I did get in a plug for AA with a family trying to get oscars for a twenty.

I got so confused for a second cause you put the exact same post in "what have you seen at the fish store" thread... I think that's what it was called. I was like, did I click on the wrong thread or something?
