My next tank is definitely going to be a fancy goldfish tank. They remind me of pugs. Plus, saving a few from a bowl life would feel pretty good!
Any Goldfish lovers?

Have a 50 planted with hornwort just floating around with 2 shubunkins and a bristlenose pleco Love this tank more than my red devil tank.
my god, this video really puts things into perspective. How big do you guys think that tank is? 150 gallon? 200 gallon? and it seems only barely enough as a temporary holding tank for him.
I wonder if anybody makes a 30+ gallon glass bowl? That'd be a big bowl, but it would probably look really, really cool if it was scaped nicely, and you could actually keep things in it! Plus, I doubt a fancy goldfish would be all that likely to jump out of an open-topped bowl. I'm not sure fancy goldfish can even jump.
Problem is traditional bowls from our youth offer few if any filtration options. Plus, they narrow at the top which is a big no-no for proper surface area and gas exchange. So even a 100 gallon bowl would be vastly hampered from the start compared to a 100 gallon tank. Unless that bowl was a 100 gallon bowl shaped like a salad bowl, and you plumbed in a filtration system. That would work. But that's a lot of trouble to go the "bowl route".
