Hello All,

I need some help with my goldfish bowl. I have a two gallon bowl with
one common goldfish (about an inch and a half). I was wondering if it
is a good idea to add a cory cat to the bowl.
I currently do not have a filter and was also wondering if anybody
could suggest a filter for a 2 gallon bowl.

Any advice much appreciated. I am an absolute newbie and would like
to graduate to a bigger tank in time.

Thanks much
zeph.

My only advice is to put on your iron jockstrap: you're
about to get blasted for animal cruelty.
I'm not saying you are guilty, and I'm not saying
you're not. Just be ready.

Definitely don't get a cory cat! I t is generally recommended that goldfish
have at least 10 gallons each so you are already massively overstocked. Best
advice I can give is to buy a bigger tank a.s.a.p and get a good filter. If
you don't your goldie wont live a very happy or long life.
