FAQ: Can I keep my goldfish in a little bowl like Seachem Gold Basics™ seems to imply?

There is a strong tradition of keeping goldfish in bowls, and Gold Basics™ is designed to make the best of this small environment. That said, a healthy goldfish will grow to be quite large and actually prefers high-oxygen environments.  We would consider the best environment for a goldfish to be a large, well-filtered tank.
