Well I don't expect that I am that person but I will be happy to tell you why from my point of view. I think its important tob vote wheather I for the pres of the u.s. Or just a fish poll. If you read my post I don't think it is cool but when I read people who talk about cruelty to fish it irks me. Imo to be cruel is to cause suffering. Suffering imo is an emotional state. In order to suffer would require a state of awareness. Fish don't have emotionions they don't have awareness. They survive and function on pure instinct alone. I voted cool because it the concept bugs me less. I don't agree with fish bowls because I believe in keeping anything you keep healthy. If its fish or an ant farm. We do keep a betta in a vase but we do 50% water changes every other day. I keep my fish healthy as I can because I enjoy them and when I do something I try to do it right reguardless of what it is. Plus I pay for my fish. Everytime one dies that's money down the drain. So no I don't think fish bowls are cool but I don't think they are cruel either. I am posting from my phone so I apologize about the poorly written post. Also when this thread gets closed remember you asked and I called it.
Yes, you are correct about the origin. I think as a temporary holding pen for a single small fish such as medicating a fish, I see no problem. As a permanent residence - no dice.
i'm not sure if fish can suffer or not, however i'm against assuming that they can't, simply because we don't know for sure. it's not like we can ask. you can never say that it's just a fish, thus it doesn't know suffering. i mean, we used to think jelly fish just float around and food accidentally bumps into them or they into it, until it has been proven that they actually hunt. i hope fish can't suffer.
I respect that point of view although I don't agree with it. I respect everyones opinion and always avoid these conversations on here despite the fact I want to scream at my moniter sometimes. The only reason I got into this one is because my name got brought into it and I was asked directly. Like I said. These debates never go well on here. Some people have an inability to understand that some people have diferent views other than their own. Some people just take it to far like one has already done imo.
looks pretty cool to me.
LOLOL...I hate those nasty goldfish crackers. I wonder if I could stick a killer whale in that :idea: . Just a thought..Don't judge lol
This is a cool fish "bowl"
This is cool:
It's the fisn n flush toilet. (the fish tank portion is seperate from the toilet tank)

I did not even think keeping goldfish in a bowl would be an issue with fishkeepers who come here.I thought all of us were beyond this kind of dumb noob style fishkeeping.
