A glass fish bowl is the preferred home for pet fish. There are several advantages to having a glass fish bowl as opposed to a Plexiglas or other form of plastic. It’s true that a plastic aquarium or fish bowl is shatter resistant but you will not be moving your fish’s home frequently. There is very little danger of a glass fish bowl being broken!

One of the most important considerations when you have fish as pets is ease of cleaning. A closed environment like an aquarium needs to be kept clean of waste, uneaten food and algae. Glass can easily be cleaned without scratching, unlike a plastic aquarium. Glass is also healthier for scavenger fish who feed off algae that gathers on the inside of the aquarium.

Unlike plastic, a glass fish bowl won’t discolor or become cloudy. Plastic eventually becomes brittle, especially if you have it in a place where it gets some sunlight whereas glass maintains its integrity and will not degrade with exposure to light or mild heat.

You can also choose a glass fish bowl in an attractive shape. It can be a simple round bowl, an oval shape, a five or six sided bowl or even one of the new vase-type containers with a water plant in it to nourish the fish. Glass aquariums come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes and you’ll surely find one that is just right for you.
