I want to have my first pet, a fish, but I can't decide from getting a fish tank/aquarium or a Fish Bowl.?
If I get a fish bowl, it will probably 1 gallon. If I get a fish tank, it will be just a small one. I don't want to get all fancy because I just want to take care of a fish for the first time.
...Iknowthisisaweirdquestion! lol
Bowls are more work, and less humane than a fish tank.
In a bowl (no filtration, heat, etc) you will need to change 100% of the water every day in order to avoid ammonia build ups, and you'll need to have a fish that is not going to die from temperature changes (you won't find a fish that doesn't need a steady temp of some sort).
A small tank (even 5 or 10 gallons) is infintely easier to care for than a bowl, and it's got enough room for a few fish, and is a much healthier environment for your fish.
I would avoid bowls at all costs. They really are not worth it.
Tropical Fish Aquariums
Tropical Fish Aquariums Seeing the colorful fish glide through their silent, lush miniature undersea world, almost like dancers in a tiny ballet, can be the perfect calming influence after a hectic and stressful day of work. For this reason one often finds aquariums not only in homes but also in the waiting rooms of doctors and dentists, in physiotherapy or massage therapy rooms, hospitals and psychiatric clinics, and even prisons.
While Saltwater Fish and coral can be spectacular, they can also be expensive and tricky to maintain. Consider instead tropical fresh water fish, which come in a variety of colors and types and are typically very attractive in their own right. Additionally, they are normally quite inexpensive and a lot easier to keep healthy than saltwater fish.
What You'll Need To Set Up Your Tropical Fish Aquarium
In order to set up your tropical fish aquarium, you will need an aquarium, or fish tank, gravel for the bottom, an aquarium filter, replacement Filter Media, a tank heater, decorative stuff for the bottom of the tank such as real or imitation plants, test kits to test the ph, temperature and other parameters and monitor the infamous nitrogen cycle, Fish Food, an aquarium vacuum, a fish net, a tank scrubber, a five gallon bucket, and a pasta strainer.
Be Aware of the Responsibility Involved In Owning A Tropical Fish Aquarium It is not difficult to learn how to set up a fish tank, but there are some steps you should follow. First, you be aware of a few things about an aquarium setup. A tropical fish tank is similar to having a dog or a cat when it comes to the amount of effort you will have to invest. In order to be successful at having a freshwater tropical fish tank you will have to work at it. Once a week, or at most once every two weeks, you will definitely have to perform some kind of maintenance on the tank. Most of the time this will involve changing the water. You will also need to feed your fish at least once a day. Also bear in mind that setting up and maintaining a fish tank does tend to cost some money. There are recurring expenses like the replacement of filter media, buying food, and other incidental expenses.
Choose the Size of Tropical Fish Aquariums You Want It's always a good idea to have in mind what kind of fish you want to keep before you set out to purchase an aquarium. Some fish only grow to be an inch or two, whereas other types of tropical fish can grow as large as twelve or thirteen inches in length. Knowing what kind of fish you want will help you decide the size of the tank they will need. If this is your first time setting up tropical fish aquariums, it may be a prudent idea to start out with a ten to twenty gallon fish tank setup at first, and then and stock it with some of the smaller and sturdier species.
