Contrary to popular belief, fish bowls are too small for the average betta or goldfish and will likely either stunt their growth or kill them due to the lack of space. I thought it would be cool to bring some awareness about this overlooked fact through this project. The fish will either live and emit bubbles or flip over and die depending on the mouse’s position on canvas.
