I'm looking for something besides a betta a lot of people have them. I just want something that can be kept in a bowl/vase so that i don't have to use an aquarium.
i don't remember what they're called, but they're tiny, skinny striped fish. they can be kept in small spaces. the pet store proves that. they put like 500 in one small tank. i'm sure you could get a couple of mollys and put them in a small bowl as well.
If you can find a bowl/vase that's at least 2.5g that can also hold a filter and heater and still look attractive, then be my guest and put a betta in it.
