  1. Hi siqest,
    I guess you could if you had a space ship. They would manage – do think they would swim around the bowl in the same direction?

  2. The goldfish will not live very long unless there is an airtube blowing bubbles into the water

  3. yes they need nutirents to live, need the waste to be cleaned up, and they need oxygen. The vacuum in space would tend to blow up normal containers. The UV and other radiation would be a problem also

  4. haha I don’t know =P but I know fish need oxygen so if there’s no air in contact with the water the fish will suffocate
