Biorb have introduced a whole new dimension to fish bowls. Their sophisticated fish bowl creations combine the conventional look with the equipment that will give the performance of an aquarium, making it a healthy environment for fish. Plus they are much more spacious than usual fish bowls. These unique fish bowls have a five stage biological, chemical and mechanical filtration system concealed at the bottom of the bowl. The filter cartridges last for 6-8 weeks and ensure low maintenance for the owner, keeping the water looking clean and clear. An integrated halogen light fits unobtrusively inside the lid, ensuring the water is well lit while also adding a touch of sparkle. An air pump and air stone are also included. The Plexiglass construction provides maximum durability and 360 degrees of crystal clear visibility.
Biorb glass fish bowls can be purchased in a range of sizes and with black or silver lids and bases. A four gallon fish bowl costs $70 and offers the option of purchasing a moonlight unit which has a sensor that automatically detects natural changes in light between night and day and adjusts the light to a blue moonlight color. This feature costs an extra $30. An eight gallon bowl costs $129 and the largest globe at sixteen gallons can be purchased for $209. In the eight gallon range, Biorb have introduced an ultra modern design in which the bowl is partly coated in a white, black or silver color to match the lid and base. The unique design also includes atmospheric lighting for a trendy look. This one costs $280 and comes as a complete kit with equipment as well as ceramic media, water conditioner and fish food. All you do need is fish and water!
Unique fish bowls are also available in a variety of shapes which many find more exciting than the ordinary round goldfish bowls. Popular shapes which make a nice table centrepiece or gift include teacup designs and fish shaped glass fish bowls. Betta fish bowls can also be found in the shape of one gallon cubes or, as a funky gift, a half gallon disco betta fish bowl has an LED light which slowly changes, creating color combinations and illuminating the translucent colored stones. All these unique glass fish bowls cost around $30.
Another option is to purchase a hanging fish bowl, which will add an interesting aspect to your home or office décor. Plus it is out of the reach of young children or pets. Due to their small size they are really only suitable as betta fish bowls. A hanging fish bowl ranges in price from $20-$40.
