Bexley gives Hershel 2/5*10 = <<2/5*10=4>>4 betta fish.

The total number of betta fish in the bowl is now 4+10 = <<4+10=14>>14

He also gives Hershel 1/3*15 = <<1/3*15=5>>5 goldfish

The total number of goldfish in the bowl is now 15+5 = <<15+5=20>>20

Counting the betta fish and goldfish, Hershel now has a total of 14 + 20 = <<14+20=34>>34 fish

When he gives his sister half of the fish, the remaining half is 34/2 = <<34/2=17>>17 fish

Hershel has 10 betta fish and 15 goldfish in a bowl. His friend Bexley brings him 2/5 times as many betta fish and 1/3 times as many goldfish. If Hershel gifts his sister 1/2 of the fish, calculate the total number of fish he has remaining in the bowl.
