strange request

· · 🌡️ 16°F

Anyone know of places to look for "interesting" fish bowls?

My sister's boyfriend has some kooky decorating idea for their apt in Jersey City and has asked for interesting fish bowls for Christmas.

Any ideas? Or anyone out there who is able to design & decorate ordinary fishbowls in interesting and artful ways?

    We used to keep our betta fish in weird-shaped flower vases-- go to Michael's or Bed Bath & Beyond or the like.
    We have one that looks like a brandy snifter (holds about a half-gallon), one that looks like a (32-oz) martini glass, and one that looks like a (64-oz) hurricane glass.

    The martini glass isn't really very good for the fish, though. It's ok in terms of surface area and the like, but the optics fuck with the poor fooshies' heads. We don't keep fish in that one anymore. But it's sitting in our 15-gal fishtank as a decoration, which is cute when the catfish latches onto the side of it like some kind of desperately confused miniature alcoholic.

    Arg.... @uncutsaniflush and i were out recently and saw interestingly shaped fish bowls (one was a fish, i think) made of glass and for the life of me i cannot remember where!! May have been Steve's Pets out in Williamsville... Maybe Petsmart?

    That probably wasn't much help, huh?

    Find a glass blower that usually does bongs and see if they'd do a fishbowl.

    Otherwise... try The Fish Store. They are in the phone book.

    Many thanks to everyone who made fishbowl suggestions... I'm going to track down these leads just as soon as I can. Cheers!
