All good points NN. (none / 0) (#8)

A large glass chamber can be fine for a small goldfish or three for a little while until they grow. They can present a charming image on a table. I hadn't though in a while of the tendancy of plastic to absorb materials from a variety of sources - including those pretty blue and green medicinal dyes. You are of course, correct. Another danger is that if they spend much time in the sun, they get brittle and fragile.

A plastic bowl is a good investment if one needs a temporary holding container for fish while a tank is being cleaned up or when fry are being rounded up. We are penny wise and pound foolish in using them regularly.

There are some small plastic tanks by Lustar and the critter keeper folks which are good temporary fry holders. They can be quite expensive. A lot of clubs use them for species shows. But in time they too get scrapped and cloudy and can get brittle.

All the best,
