Small: 9"L x 6"W x 6.5"H
?
I rescued a little blue female from Petsmart, and the only thing I had was a thing that size. Since I have NO idea how many gallons that would be I need to know, so I can get her settled in..I have to know so I wont add too much or too little Water conditioner. Thanks for any help! I'll get pics of her in a little while.

going with the measurements being inches? i had to round 6'5 to 7 though so it's not completey accurate

it would be 4 litres - 1 uk gallon - 1.06 u.s gallon

i could do it again with 6" h if you want because that will more likely be how much water you have in there?
hope i helped

Yes it is! Because I'm supposed to add 1 cup of WC for every 1/2 gallon..and I only added 2 cups...

i used a volume calculator and it rounded the 6.5 up so i'd say you've put enough in.

i think you've probably got about 1 u.s gallon in it so i would stick at what you've done.

Cant you tip the water out and measure it accurately with a pint jug or glass ! as you pour it in. Dont forget gravel and ornaments take up room as well (displace water I mean) wheres the piccie

Nah, she just kinda had it folded up when I took the pic. It's such bad quality >.< But her fins are a bit damaged. And Thanks
Edit:Actually...I think she's missing a HUGE Chunk!

i really want a or 2 (divider in tank )betta for my 5 gallon tank.

but nice betta aren't that common round where i live.

their normally £5.99 for a little male with clamped fins and not the best of colours.

theirs also only a maximum of 4 betta in each lfs so i have to look round all the tanks looking for them as they mix them with other fish.

glad there's nothing wrong with her fins etc..

is the tank she's in filtered, heater etc..

Wow thats high for a betta. They're only $3.49 US for the males, and $1.99 US for the females. She is missing a huge chunk, and I just noticed, so I hope its not fin rot No..she doesnt have a filter or anything. None of my bettas do, but I do change their water regularly

 

[jayjay]

only asking as i'm planning my betta tank and some people say they need a filter some say they don't so confusing

i wouldn't need a heater my house is always warm enough for my fish

i duno about lights though if i put it in my bedroom it would get plenty of light but not direct sunlight

would you say i'd be ok?

hope her fins get betta (sorry about the pun)
