Re: Have you ever had fish as a "pet"? If so look here please!
 

I've had both goldfish and beta's and i would say the easist fish to own/take care of is a beta. My beta lived for about 13 months, and all i had to do was feed it a pinch about 3 times a week, and change half the water every week or so. With beta, it's not a good idea to keep them in direct sunlight, so maybe on the window sill isn't the best idea. Also, beta live better in small tanks(mine was seriously about 4 inches in diameter at its widest point), but as stated before, dont put more than one in the bowl.
