    A snail.
    Ich.
    water fleas
    mosquito larva
    dragonfly larvae
    walking stick/caddis fly larvae. These are kinda cool. They glue gravel and sticks around their body to protect it.

    Sea monkeys? Everything else needs a heater, and all pets produce ammonia, which would make 1 gallon of water very toxic very quickly. You could put some dirt in it, line the top with vasaline so it can’t climb out, and get a pet hissing cockroach.

    A betta is an air breather, and can live in bowls for their lifetime. In the wild they live in very shallow streams.

    Goldfish are absolutely unacceptable for bowls, as are all fish. Bowls are viewed as animal cruelty by many hobbyists and for very good reasons.

    I have bowls which I use for planted terrariums. They mostly house African violets or Venus fly traps.

    A betta fish, they are really easy to care for.

    You only need to clean the bowl once a week.

    and feed them 2 or 3 times a day but only a very little amount at a time.

    They like to live alone too so it would perfect plus they come in tons of cool colors so you can pick a cool color and get rocks for the bottom of the bowl that match him.

    here are some sites on betta fish
