Can a pet fish have too small a bowl, and be bored?

Question

Can a pet fish have too small a bowl, and be bored?

Answer 1

That would depend on the fish.

For example, dwarf puffers are adventurous and like to explore, so they need more space than guppies, who only 'need' a friend to bug in order to be not 'bored' even though both fish could technically live in a fish bowl.

Answer 2

Definitely....it's a living thing.  Imagine yourself living an an 8 square foot room and someone tossing food in once a day.

Answer 3

It's not so much boredom that you see a fish in a small bowl suffering from, it's ammonia poisoning and lack of oxygen. It's not bored, it's dieing.

Answer 4

yes because like any animal have feelings fish swimming on their own will get bored so they need a companion and a tank to live in not a bowl
