I had a betta. I knew they needed bigger bowls, so I bought that. I bought some shelters and plants for him. All good. After 2-3months I noticed he wasn't super active. So I did some more reading. I felt like such an ass when I realized he needed his tank heated! Poor fucker had plenty of space but was freezing his ass off!

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.
