Q: I have two betta fishes in different bowl one living for 3 years still alive.One living for a couple of weeks and still alive. I want a goldfish.An oranda.I mean i will have to do a lot of cleaning but still i don't really do anything.I also have a bunny.Actually my dad cleans the cage and everything but i look after it. This is to Cornelious over there. I take care of my fish and rabbit.I'm saying when i'm on vacation.
A: Don't listen to people who tell you to get a bowl...bowls are only good for cereal. Fish don't like bowls. Your Betta's would be better of to themselves. Beautiful fish, but ornery, Oranda do get big, invest in a 20 gallon tank for it, and cleaning is a must! Orandas just like any goldfish are messy..messy...messy. Make sure that your filtration is good, and invest in a "python"( not a snake) it is a cleaning tool that is easy to use once you get the hang of it. If Dad likes to help out with your critters, let him....less for you to do!
