i agree, i hate the little bowls! we had one at work in a little bowl. i went on the net and looked for as much info as i could find. they said a minimum of 1 gal of water, with some plants. and regular stimulation with a mirror, yourself and live food (as in mosquito larvie etc) i will ckek out the link asap.

a goldfish can grow up to 12 inches or larger and live for around 20 years if it's not kept in a bowl.
