How do you safely change water in fish bowl without shocking fish?

To change the water in a fish bowl without shocking your fish, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the new water.

- Use treated water that is the same temperature as the water in the bowl.

- Add any necessary water conditioner to the new water.

2. Remove the old water.

- Remove about half of the water from the bowl, being careful not to disturb the fish.

- Set the old water aside to use for watering plants or other purposes.

3. Add the new water.

- Slowly add the new water to the bowl, replacing the water you removed.

- When adding new water, pour it in gently and slowly to avoid splashing the fish and causing them stress.

4. Finish up.

- Observe the fish for any signs of stress, such as rapid breathing, swimming erratically, or hiding.

- Leave the fish in the bowl for a few minutes to allow them to adjust to the new water.

- Return the fish to the bowl once the new water has been added.
