His name is Rail Tail He is another V-tail Betta I got at PetSmart the water he was in was filthy, and some of the other fish where dead he will become my little mirecle. Pictures will be up soon stay tune for more update on both my Bettas Goldie and the new Redtail!

 

[Goldie2nd]

Here are pics of Redtail

 

[Goldie2nd]

More picstures will be up soon please comment I found him at Petsmart they where selling them real cheep because they where getting new fish and I felt bad for these guys I coulld only get one and Redtail was the lucky guy.He is a shy one though not like my Goldie maybe he will flowrish more during the week. He is just so tiny.

He's pretty!!! That home is temporary right?

 

[Goldie2nd]

No that is his home

 

[betta lover1507]

oh, i have that plant XD he is very pretty. how many gallons is that?

 

[Goldie2nd]

um 758mg like 1 gallon is bigger and more than the other one 1.5 at leats is bigger tan the kritter keeper my grandma wanted me to put him in.

He is gourgeous! I absolutely love his color.

PS. You aren't using correct measurements, milligrams is the measurement of mass while gallons is the measurement of water volume, giving us the mass won't help determine the water volume, from the visual picture and the size of the Betta/decorations, it does look slightly smaller than a gallon

 

[Goldie2nd]

Oh well I did my best is bigger than the Kritter Kepper my grandma got me.

For water...
1mg = 1mL
758mg = 758mL
1000mL = 1L
1L = 0.26 gallons

758mg = 0.2 gallons, or 1 fifth of a gallon, minus space taken up by rocks, decor, not filled up all the way.
ILY metric system and your simpleness<3

Waaaaay too small. That's the size of our petsmart cups.

I know, and as long as his water is heated, cleaned with daily 75% water changes and x2 100% water changes weekly, he has a good diet, etc. he should thrive.

are you sure your 10 years old? :lol: because i really don't believe it

I have the same gravel gems in one of my tanks... I recommend watching ( Red tail ) because they can get stuck under there... ( I have had this experience many times... ) Just a heads up.

Oh and BL1507, Mo is 12. Shocking isn't it? ( I'm 12 too, but still )

 

[Goldie2nd]

Well I just asked my grandpa and he said 8 gallons I think is fine. and it only had two things and his gravel he has space.

LOL I SAID 10 SORRY!! :crazy: :lol:
he is 2 years younger than me and he knows more water chemistry then me :roll: it's kinda sad, haha

Like I said, 758mg = 0.2 gallons. Not 8 gallons. I'm sorry but that is far off. Don't Americans use gallons to buy gas? That should give an idea. Your "tank" isn't even a liter big.

 

[Mo]

Lol! Thanks!

PS. That tank is not 8 gallons......

Milligrams, a unit of mass, and gallons, a unit of volume, are not actually directly equivalent, however it is common to use the volume and mass of water to "equate" the two.
Using that method, where
1 (U.S.) Gallon of water weighs 128 ounces, and
1 ounce weighs 28.35 grams (approx.) or 28,350 mg
1 Gallon "equals" 128 * 28,350 mg, or 3,628,739 mg

Wait. Mo is 12??!!!?!>!>!>!?!?!?!?!?!11!!one!!11!!!

my goodness!! You're so mature!

Cute fish there I think he should have a larger tank and a heater but otherwise, welcome to betta keeping!

 

[Mo]

Thanks! Yup I'm 12. Try telling my friends that I'm mature, they think I'm a total dork, lol

Yes, the measurement 1mL = 1mg is for pure water only, after that you get into decimals and percent composition of the water and such. We use it all the time in our chem conversions.
However it is close enough to be terribly worried for the little guy.
