Has anyone done a plant in a fish bowl?
I went to an office building once that had a vine of some sort (this was like 5 years ago - pre plant obsession but from the picture it looks like a #Syngonium to me) and it had a gold fish in it. How do I start this?! What plant is best? Do you feed the fish still, or does it eat off of the plant? Give me your knowledge please! Thank you!

@SCStoneHair That does look really beautiful! However it might be better to have an actual fish tank with plants growing out of it, so there is adequate space for the fish and also a water filter. Here in the UK, the RSPCA give guidance for what is appropriate for fish, and it says goldfish need 60 litres of water each. Here's some more detail from their website about why below. 🪴💕🐱
Unsuitable aquariums
Decorative or fun tanks, like goldfish bowls, jars or children's tanks, have not been designed with fish welfare in mind:
Their small size isn't big enough, for example, goldfish require at least 60 litres of water each. Small volumes don't provide a stable environment for the fish to live in.
There isn't enough space for an efficient filter, so waste products can't be removed.
The low surface area means that not enough oxygen will be absorbed into the water.
Temperature levels can alter rapidly, which can cause stress and even death.

@SCStoneHair Hello 👋 and welcome to Greg, Sarah!
What a cool 😎 idea. Love 💕 it. That may be something I’ll try this year. Thank you for the awesome idea.

@SCStoneHair @LovePhilos I really like the look of the tank set up in this video, I want to do this idea too now! Thanks for the inspiration Sarah 😊 💕🌿🐟
