| Hello all, Just wondering, can I keep a paradise fish in an "Aqua Bowl" (a modified pot made 2 hold water) outside. Im not worried about the size, but more about the temperature fluctuation from day to night. Any help is appriciated. Thanx

Not sure what an "Aqua Bowl" is.
What size is it?
What shape?
What is it made of?

It holds about 5-10 gallons and is round. The top is the largest part for its base is smaller than the opening. It is made of ceramics i think. But im more worried if the paradise fish will be able to stand the temp fluctuation.

i would not only be concerned about temperature fluctuatiopns but also the possibility that the fish might jump out if it is only like 5 or ten gallons.
 4 gallon Finnex pico aquarium- Iwagumi tank with orange eye black tiger shrimp.10 gallon- Planted Asian biotope with CPD's, sparkling gouramis, and a breeding pair of Betta albimarginata. <link to pics of my tanks- http://board.fishchannel.com/Topic225475-16-1.aspx>

I guess it depends where you live. You might be OK in the summer, but you may have to bring the fish inside for the winter. Also, water temperatures will fluctuate more in a small container like yours. Temperatures remain more stable in larger bodies of water, retaining heat or cold longer. Good luck!!
