Cold unfiltered office bowl?

Goldfish crackers. Or a floating glass fish.

White clouds need a bigger tank, they get bigger than neons tetras do. A 5 gallon is minimum and a 10 gallon really much more adequate.

There is nothing that should go in such a small container. You mention to create a stress free environment? Well a constanly dying fish doesn't seem stress free.
 
You know what though, as much as I agree with the no-bowl policy ... a bowl taken care of is better than those dixie-cup containers they keep 20 in on a shelf @ the fish store.
 
A betta can work in a bowl sure, but they are tropical fish and really need warm water. And those dixie cups are temp storage. The fact that they sell little betta hex tanks is deplorable.
 
I had a Betta that I kept in a 1 gal tank with a filter for about a year. I then moved him into my 10 gal community tank and he seemed much happier although the guppies he killed obviously did not. I wont keep a betta in a small enclosure again, but I still think a 1 gal is better than the hex tanks and the stupid vases. Those vases are just betta death traps.
 
dood seriously 5 gallon kits with filter and light and everythign ate like 25- 30 bucks

if you smoke you probably spend that on ciggrattes in 2 weeks
 
My betta lives in a 1 gal filtered tank. It cost me about $25 for the intial get up (tank, filter, gravel, silk plant, water conditioner and betta), and tiny 25 watt heaters are only $15. The tank sits on my computer desk in my room, is perfectly silent and is a snap to maintain in terms of water conditions. I even have real plants in there with him, and he looks great. This kind of arrangement could easily work in an office environment, and would make for a much happier betta than one living in an unfiltered, unheated bowl. (As an added bonus, all prices I listed are in Canadian dollars, so it'd be even less for you.)
