So... Need help with this one....

[LayzorBeams]

I cant find it.

Apparently i saw some small evidence at one point saying that it wasnt and took to it. It is classed as a cichlid.

I guess i change my opinion and say that it is, because i cant find the reasoning behind why i thought it wasnt.

Again, my B.

You do realize this fish alone needs a 75 gallon with no tank mates. Buddas are highly aggressive and homicidal typically. Plus they grow quite large. Rehome this one, and don't buy another, or any of those others you listed until you can get a proper sized tank

Man, a 75 gallon with no tank mates?? Wow.... This guy sure can grow very big!!! From a very small size....

Oh wait, I forgot to ask this.... 1 gallon is equal to how many liters??

1 gallon is just under 4 liters...



1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liters

 

[Darkfalcon]

Then... if 1 US gallon is less then 4 liters... I'm using my gallon which is around 16 liters, and if I say 10 gals according to my gallons, the sum will be 160 liters. Is it enough for 1 hornet cichlid?

 

[Tropical Aquarist]

That's about 40 us gallons, still pretty small for 1 of these....

 

[Darkfalcon]

Hmm I see, well I don't intend to keep the hornet cichlid (already switched them with rainbow sharks) so.... it's 40 gallons... Hmmm.... Yea ok, I guess it's quite big for my fishes atm (since they're not yet big, but will soon be big). So my aim now is to get another big tank or a pond (or a huge tub) for my goldfishes (koi, oranda, comet, common, and fantail). The tank will be for my other fishes.

the UK and US gallon measurements were different when I asked google (lol). That's why I say what's the gallon measurement used here? And I'm using my gallon which is 16 liters so the measurement should be different due to your country (I guess??).

 

[PoppaRyno]

Thats an imperial gallon. You also must check are you measuring by dry or liquid volume.

Gallon = 3.785 ltrs
Imperial gallon = 4ltrs
Its a rounded unit. But lengths of measurement don't change due to location... What ya call them might. But an inch is still an inch here or there. Its just linguistics.

NO gallon is 16 liters???
16 liters is almost 4 gallons....

If you have a 10 gallon tank it holds less then 40 liters ,not 160....

 

[PoppaRyno]

Oh I don't know about the 5 gallon container, I just search for the one that looks similar to the gallon on top of the dispenser in the 3rd link

 

[Freakgecko91]

Yeah, you're not making any sense at all. I don't know of any country that uses 5 gallons as a single gallon measurement....

What are the dimensions of this tank in the format of length x width x height? Please properly label to the unit of measurement you use, whether that be inches, feet, millimeters, centimeters, or meters
