Why Is It Cruel to Keep a Goldfish in a Bowl?

Just a random thought while I was running at the gym. I don’t keep my goldfish in bowls. They are in a 50 gallon with a Fluval 405 canister filter and a 30 gallon with a AquaClear filter. But I have wondered this for a little while, why does everyone say it is cruel to keep goldfish in a bowl? For hundreds of years they were kept in bowls in China and Japan while they were being developed into the fish they are today without filters and water treatments (example of bowls here: http://www.exoticgoldfish.net/setup.html ). I’m just so curious because whenever someone posts about a goldfish in a bowl it’s like people upset over it. Is it because we have modern technology and should be using it? Or is it for other reasons?

In China they use giant pots not bowls it only in the movies. Cruel since there is no space to swim around and no filter water quality deteriorate in one day in a bowl. And in China very huge land most people in Ancient time got fish pond or giant clay pots not tiny bowls like in the movies. Keeping goldifsh in a bowl is very profitable since buyer keep on buying new fish for their kids.

Will putting a mirror in front of my betta’s fish tank help him or make him more stressed?

I’ve read on a site that you can put a mirror there and he can get some exercise because he thinks it another betta fish, but I think it might stress him out. Anything else I can work with?

It will keep him in defense mode, which is stressful. I wouldn’t do it. It won’t help the fish in any way. Let him relax and think he and his territory are safe and other Betta free. That’s a happy fish!

topaz my betta fish can flare with a mirror now!
