@tetracanthus Well in our club when we have meetings or so the only thing we put into the glass bowl are sweets for children :D

@Kpiotr I do keep fish in bowls, just not for long periods of time.
Our aquarium club has a bowl show that I enter fish in.
Now keeping fish in bowls as their permanent home is wrong, I agree with you there.
As to wearing the "I love all cute animals" T-shirt, that's just sad..I love all animals not just the cute ones. :)
@tetracanthus I'm just joking ;) I just aimed to those who keep guppies in bowl and wears "I love all cute animals" T-shirt.
Personally, I love Petenia and want to keep some of the normal morph some time!
@Kpiotr I keep swordtails myself, yet I found this video very interesting.
Come to think of it, Petenia suction feedinf on xiphophorus would be very entertaining.
@tetracanthus it's probably person who's interested in livebearers ;D
its cute!
