I'd go with blackened ahi with a papaya salsa. Absolutely delicious.

Your kind of out of luck. A goldfish would do terrible if you have a small tank (anything under 30 gallons). You would also need a filter, as they are so messy. Everything else is tropical, so you will need a whole setup.
A 2 gallon tank is too small for tropical fish; The general rule (which is quite outdated but still kind of works), is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. besides, cherry barbs are schooling fish, and do best in groups of 5 or more.

I'm a fish breeder and Ive bred platties, sword tails, mollies, and zebra danios. what i recommend is the red velvet sword tail, i know that you only want 1 fish but if you have a small tank (1.5 to 5 gallon), you should put 3 to 5 neon tetras. they are very beautiful, and the don't fight.
hope this helps ^_^

gold fish dont do well in anything remotly small despite the "gold fish bowl" mentality, so if you dont want to spend a lot of money avoid them. lets see...cute fish...try a 2 gallon tank with a pair of harliquin rasbora, or cherry barbs.

Get a goldfish and don't put it in a bowl unless it's a huge one with a filter- a round aquarium- might as well get an aquarium. Just don't put it in a bowl or it'll die. Just telling you in case you don't know but most people are responsible and smart enough to know already.

no fish should be kept solitary. Not goldfish, not betta... nothing. Imagine being kept by yourself forever. Get a 10 gallon with four female bettas.

Try the shrimp platter, it comes with 1 fish and coleslaw. It's only $3.99 but hurry, it's for a limited time.

I think you should get a tiger fish. They're pretty cute if you ask me!

bettas are really the best choice actually. females are very cute. especially when they come from a good store.
