Well, maybe it's a good thing that they will be sold. So, that they don't have to live this way. Angelfish don't belong in a fish bowl...

Those biorbs and bowls are really only for shrimp or like quarantine tanks, never for long term fish keeping.

i think its too small for quarantine tank, it is too hard to maintain. in some countries they ban rounded tanks and bowls regardless of size because it disorts the fish's view.

I had a biorb when I first started 3 months ago. Quickly realised that they are inadequate. (The wife loved it though) they may be nice to look at but rubbish for fish

maybe you can rebuild it with no fish, just for a few little shrimpies and beautiful hardscape with nano stlye stuff. i saw a thing in a mall, it was a "ecosphere " it was just a 5 gallon biorb with 1 fish, 2 shrimp, and 1 single strand of algae... it was supposed to be self sustainable... im pretty sure they have to feed the shrimp and fish every day lol
