			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First a bit of background about myself, I&#8217;m quite experienced with owning freshwater fish.<br />
I currently own tanks with guppies, red-tail sharks, mollies, gouramis, mbunas, catfishes, platies, shrimps, clown/kuhli/yoyo loches, etc. And i think i&#8217;m doing really well with it.</p>
<p>However, i have never owned a Betta, or a Goldfish, though i have an idea of how to treat them.<br />
But I have never owned a mini bowl tank. Unfortunatley, i have received a &#8220;betta bowl&#8221; for xMas, that looks similar to this in terms of size:</p>
<p>http://www.altavistamall.com/psproducts/ACU07001.jpg</p>
<p>Given that I will make use of it, probably putting my first Betta in&#8230;</p>
<p>~~~First (set of)  question:~~~<br />
How does it really work?<br />
As in, would you even cycle that?<br />
Would you bother putting gravel in it, i&#8217;m planning to have horn wort in it, which doesn&#8217;t necessary need gravel.<br />
How do you do water change? I don&#8217;t think vacuum cleaner is an option. It&#8217;s so small too, wouln&#8217;d pouring water in and out so stress the fish?<br />
And given how small the bowl is, how often do you change the water?<br />
My room is quite cold in winter,  maybe 10-15 celcius? You can&#8217;t put a heater in that thing.<br />
Right.. i really dont&#8217; get how those stores can have maintain those cups of bettas&#8230; </p>
<p>~~~ Second (set of ) questions: ~~~<br />
Please don&#8217;t kill me, but on the box, it says don&#8217;t get mistaken by the name, thought it&#8217;s called &#8220;Betta Bowl&#8221;, you can put a golfish in.<br />
Now i&#8217;m pretty surprised, i thought Goldfish needs BIG tank for how messy they are. So I think it&#8217;s lying.<br />
But in case i&#8217;m wrong, do you know any kind of GOldfish that can be happy in that bowl? </p>
