It's round like a ball and holds 7 gallons, and one fish. It's in my living room, in front of curved bay window. The Bowl showes no sign of algie. the big Blue/Gree/Clear glass marbles in the bottom don't either. The white "castle" (looks like Walt Disney Castle) showed a a small amount of green on the back side, facing the window. I clean the bowl every 3 weeks, and add distilled water inbetween cleaning. When you have preditor fish and prey fish in the same tank you just must expect some to be eaten ! My grandmother was tropical fish expert but I don't remember that much but Big tanks and big fish -are a lot of trouble. We had Salt Water and Fresh water aquariums when I grew up in the 50s. I helped -as best I could ( I was real afraid of the crabs ). I still say that a spherical Bowl in front of a window will get all the attention, and everyone will stand and stare, not because -so much of the fish but the things that a water-filled Sphere does -with magnification and Sun light -coming in from behind. Fish in the back side look 4 times larger and sun-beams go THROUGH the fish to enlarge an image on the floor 6 times his real size... -dancing images of the Trees outside the window... project into the room... But the larger the bowl the better it works, and sadly finding a BIG one is hard. Remember the Witches "Crystal Ball" in the wizard of Oz? it was a 35 gallon water filled Gold Fish bowl ! But 7 gallon one -is the biggest I can find. Even finding LARGE glass bottle is very hard these days. They just don't make them anymore. I remember 15 gallon round "lab" bottles but can't find one anywhere... Scuba is probally less expensive than you think. I developed P.A.T. heart condition in my late twenties and had to give it up Guys play 3-Demention Football underwater ! You'd soon have all salt-water fish ! I think that you should go and inspect and report on the situation -of Tormie's bathrooms... Just think what Poor Posey must suffer through ! Isn't Making her clean 'his bathroom an afront to women.... ? I clean my bathroom and my girls still do not enter it... I DO ALL THE DISH WASHING and wash all the cars, and empty the trash every time. I bring in -all groceries, and tend to all matter concerning the cars. :dance:
