Buying Fish

Question
Hello. Im thinking about buying several fish, like 3-5 fish that would be able to live together in a 1/2 gallon fish bowl. What unexpensive species of fish[hopefully not goldfishes] and plants[fake prefered] should i put into the bowl? There is no filter system in it.  Thank you for your help :]

Answer
Danielle,                                                              In that size tank you really can't put more than maybe a betta. It is way to small for any type of commmunity. Get a little 5 gallon tank with a bubbler. Put a few female bettas they get along fine and come in beautiful colors and a little cory cat and a snail..... perfect. Good Luck Tina
