Really dumb embarrissing question

[cotton]

This may sound like a dumb question but I have a goldfish that lives in a bowl and I am wondering if fish that live in bowls need gravel? We use it but I am tired of cleaning those messy little rocks. I tried looking it up on the net but nothing I saw answered my question. I am sure there has to be some goldfish owners on this site somewhere.

u don't really need it. it's basically just for show.

Nothing is a dumb question-

If you have a filtration sytem for your goldfish, you should get another fish called a "Plecostomus", also known at a "suckermouth catfish". They are great. They suck all of the algae, etc. away and out of the rocks. If you don't have a filtration system, you may want to research online to see if a plecostomus can live without it. I've always had them in my aquariums and had one in my Koi pond as well.



Hope that helps!
