1mL....lol...2 gallons out of 10 gallons is 1/5 so just divide 5 ml by 5

Or just use a ratio:

5ml/10G = xmL/2G and solve for x

Query: I have a question about my boy, Lelouch. His fins are evenly jagged (so I doubt fin rot of any kind, or biting). It looks similar to what a Half Sun looks like, but he has no rays. Maybe it is his genetics? Can a CTxVT cross do this? I'm just curious, here is a picture of his caudal, it's also the same on ALL of his fins:

i have a question regarding AB sellers. the seller (embettafarm) that has the green marble DT said he'd ship it near the end of this past june. my best guess is the fish is 4 months old about now. i havent yet gotten a email on a confirmed shipping date and i paid for the fish (not yet for $5 shipping). im not worried yet that he'll try to rip me off. just how long past his first estimated shipping date should i wait to ask him for a shipping date? its almost a month since i won the AB bid but i know you cant separate a betta fry too fast from the spawn.

@bahamut,

He looks fine. Not sure bout the genetics, but he looks amazing. Fins look normal...

@bahamut, most likely to be a CTxVT cross as both are dominant genes meaning they both have to come out in some way when you breed them!
lucky person!

@Neil, Betty: Ah that's a relief, I thought I was experiencing some sort of synchronized fin rot XD!!!!!!

Lol! That would suck....

Hi new to bettas, got my red vt 3 months ago. I am wary of over feeding him , dont want him to bloat. Should he still be hungry after 2 pellets in the morning and 2 in the afternoon ? Do i need to feed him a bit more ,or are they always hungry ?
