Um? Tail Issue

[loraxchick]

and just an FYI-
those walmart storage containers are WAY overpriced! i think i recently bought a bigger one for around $7 (for clothes storage...would be fine short/long term for the fish)...honestly you can find "better" betta tanks for a lot less money! check craigslist or get the biggest critter keeper you can find (if you have a "vessel" that is large enough to hold a small heater and VERY small, home-made filter (basically, small plastic container-fishfood tub or clean prescription bottle, and air pump and tubing), you dont need to go buy anything else to make a small filter.
cheers!

For a 3 gallon tub its 5 bucks....

Looks like you got tail biters, considering they are cramed in such tiny spaces.

They'd need atleast 15 ltrs each (think that is 4gals?) and lots of hiding places.

I got a idea to save loads of money, I can get a 10g tank ok? then devide it and now i wont have to buy all the stuff to make a container aquarium

How many gallons is this? 8.75" L X 14.5" W X 9.75 REPLIES ALWAYS WELCOME

That's 5 US Gals (20ltrs)

5 gallons per fish would be perfect.

If you want to work out the size of your tank (from dimensions)

[Length (inches) x width (inches) x height (inches)] ALL divided by 231 = Tank Volume in Gallons.

1 US Gallon = 3.786 litres (so if you see a tank in litres you can work it out too - assume 4 litres per galon as it'll be easier to work out ).

bloody metric system

bloody metric system

I think it's stupid that we have UK and US gallons.

I think it's stupid that the U.S. is still using metric, it's so much work.
