Get Creative With Fish Bowl Containers
Terry Keenan wrote:
Sphere containers, also called “fish bowl” containers due to their shape and common use, present a variety of possibilities for storing and displaying items. Most every kind of business, from convenience stores to amusement parks, can order these wholesale plastic containers and use them alone or as part of attractive displays to hold merchandise. Adding to their versatility is the fact that these containers are available as plastic or glass.
Sphere Containers Are Ideal for Convenience Stores
Aside from a home with a goldfish as a pet, convenience stores are probably the most common place for fish bowl containers. These stores can use sphere containers in a number of ways:
Display food items like small pieces of candy, gumballs, or lollipops. Hold non-edible merchandise like lipstick, key chains, pens, pencils, lighters, and travel-sized hygiene products. Create attractive displays along the store’s counter tops. (“Cookie jar” style containers are great for these displays because their shape allows the containers to sit more closely which makes the most use of the counter top’s available space.) Situate the sphere containers on display racks throughout the convenience store. Because of the containers’ shapes, racks that offer the most space are best for these displays.
Keep in mind that convenience stores aren’t the only retail businesses that can use fish bowl containers. These containers also work well in drug stores and pharmacies and other specialty shops.
Keep Sphere Containers Near Your Restaurant’s Register
Whether you run a fast food restaurant or a more formal establishment, you can use sphere containers. Consider these ideas:
Sphere containers near your restaurant’s register can display additional merchandise your customers might purchase on their way out. Fast food establishments and family-friendly restaurants often use these containers to hold promotional items such as small toys for promoting whatever popular movie happens to be in theaters at the time. Some restaurants also act as distributors of additional merchandise from national or local companies. You might use sphere containers near your register to hold lip balm, hand lotion, or small candy pieces. Bar-and-grill restaurants are popular among businesses, especially those that often take clients to lunch, and these kinds of restaurants often use fish bowl containers to collect business cards for contest and giveaway drawings.
Arcades, Carnivals, and Theme Parks Can Use Fish Bowl Containers
Many carnivals, theme parks, and amusement parks offer goldfish as prizes to patrons who win games; naturally, small fish bowl containers come in handy for these businesses. Some of them even give the fish to the winners in plastic bags full of water and then provide fish bowl containers for sale, which is convenient for the patrons because it saves them a trip to the local pet store.
These businesses, as well as establishments such as arcades, can also use sphere containers to hold tickets, tokens, and small prizes for winning games. In these instances, plastic containers are generally more popular than glass containers. These kinds of settings are usually quite active, and plastic containers prevent the possibility of unsafe broken glass.

What is a fish that can withstand a variety of temperatures?

Hi, I’m thinking of buying a fish, but I’m not sure exactly what fish I want to buy. I had two guppies but they both died, so I was wondering if there are any fish that can withstand a wide variety of temperatures (besides beta fish). My mom won’t get me a water heater, so I need a fish that can withstand temperatures somewhere from the high-sixties to mid-eighties.
Thank you!

However, it didn’t have any starting instructions? do I plop the seeds in the water? do I plant it in the rocks in the aquarium? do I start it in dirt? I have no idea..Our sons friends said to put the seed in the aquarium and it would sprout roots–its been a week- we are changing the water.The beta is fine the seed… not so fine.

Hi, I really want to get an aquairium but I don’t really know what to get. I have 2 bettas right now (not together lol) and I really like having them so I think I’m ready to get tropical fish. I’d like to get an aquiarium that’s good looking, but not huge because I’m just starting. What do I need to know? What fish are good to get and which ones are bad? How do you clean the tank? Thanks

Discus Aquarium – How to Reduce Aggression in Your Discus Fish
Mark Grover wrote:
Many people will say that keeping a discus aquarium is tough because the fish are always fighting with each other. While it is true that discus can be aggressive with each other and even the other members of your tank, there are plenty of things you can do to lessen the problem, and keep a healthy harmonious ecosystem.
The most common method used to reduce aggression in a discus aquarium is to combine fish with similar size and temperaments. Frequently, when one fish is larger than the others, it will start to exhibit dominant behavior and will soon become aggressive with its tank mates. Discus are social schooling fish by nature so they generally don’t need to be separated, however one ‘bad apple’ can sometimes ruin it for everybody. Usually, though only that single fish needs to be removed from the
aquarium.
Most of the aggression issues that occur in a discus aquarium are between males during mating periods. Usually, if you are keeping several discus, a dominant mail will emerge, and he will view the other males as competition to his females. Therefore, it is often a good idea to limit the number of males in your tank. The ideal ratio of males to females in a discus aquarium is around 1:3. That way no single female is relentlessly chased around your tank
during mating.
Other than mating, the other major reason for aggression in a discus aquarium is competition for food. If the fish find that food is scarce, they are more apt to be aggressive and guard what resources are available. However, if food is plentiful, their aggression is reduced. Do not take this as a license to overfeed your discus. Rather, it is a reminder to be consistent with your feeding schedule and portions. The fish will become accustomed to your routine and will calm as result.
Hopefully these simple ideas have helped you think about why you may have aggression in your discus aquarium. You may have previously felt that discus were too aggressive to keep, however if you create the proper environment, a discus aquarium can be a peaceful place. All that is needed is some knowledge and specific action to take. Good Luck!
