You put a fish in a bowl, you're going to kill it. Putting one fish in a bowl, let alone TWO is just putting them in their deathbed.

You should cycle the water anyways, but in a bowl, where NO fish can live, there is no point of this, as the water levels will change within minutes. For bowls, you will need to be changing the water once, twice, even three times a day.

No fish can live in a bowl, as there is such a tiny surface area for the oxygen to enter and circulate throughout the water, that there is really no point in keeping any living thing in a bowl, even if it is a snail, which is the only thing you CAN keep in a bowl.

Keeping fish in a bowl causes their growth when older. People say that fish grow to the size of their tanks, when in fact this is untrue. They continue growing, except stop when they grow too big for their tank, because the size of the tank has stunted them, which means stopped their organs/bones to grow, which kills them.

Keeping a fish in a bowl is like keeping a toddler in a playpen, as wide as a baby gate, and keeping it in there until it grows into an adult. You are being cruel to the fish, and should really be doing some research before you purchase another fish...

And no, your fish will not get "prego", as you need to give them the proper living conditions first.
