What happens

Mamegoma (まめゴマ) is a series of seal characters released in 2005 by the Japanese company San-X. They were created by Mayumi Yonemura (ja:ヨネムラマユミ) and are depicted as small enough to live in a goldfish bowl. A 2009 Mamegoma anime series called Kupū~!! Mamegoma! (クプ~!!まめゴマ!) was produced by TMS Entertainment. Four Mamegoma Nintendo DS games were released in Japan between 2007 and 2010, and two 3DS games in 2012 and 2013. The first and second DS games shipped a combined total of over 250 000 copies. Several picture books and manga by Yonemura featuring Mamegoma have been published in Japan. The first four books shipped 300 000 copies in total. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
