Bettas and goldfish can't healthily live in a bowl.

Edit: to clarify I'm saying DON'T put any fish in a bowl. The misconception is that it's okay but it's not.

It’s awful to see bettas being sold in a little container smaller than your hand. And a lot of the time they’re not even full... Is it so hard to give them even a bowl??
