Are you sure it's inches and not cms? c: We're not great with measurements but that doesn't look big enough to be inches c: But we might be wrong :B
In inches it would be 2138 litres or 470 UK gallons/564 US gallons. In cms it would be 130 litres/28 UK gallons/34 US gallons

But now I get to nurse a fish back to health, a beta, a boy named Thor same age as Pandora is/was. He was white with purple specks but now hiss colours combined to make a greyish purple colour, he has a rotted fin as well, any idea how I can help him? Thank you! Me and his owner thank you very much!
What sized tank will you be keeping him in? Filtered/heated?
Its a 9 or 10 gallon, im thinking of lowering the water or putting him in a smaller tank , maybe 4 gallon and neither are heated but I can put him in Pandora's tank which has a light/heated and a filter but I would have to buy a new filter pad.
Just curious, but why will you be moving him to a smaller tank?

it looks to me like it is a five or six gallon tank(judging by size compared to my 30 gallon tanks, which are about three feet long, 12 inches wide, and 16 inches tall) my 10 gal is about 16 inches long, 8 inches wide, and a foot tall.

@ Lonin
the ad definitely says inches. Which is why I felt the need to ask here too, because I didnt think the picture looked like it was over 200 litres XD
Plus, its only £20, including pump & light, but it says the bulb needs replacing.
Going to message the advertiser soon, so will ask if its definietly inches.

I gotta say that's most definetly in cm, but I don't think it's really that tall... As judging from the picture the height of that tank is only about a half of what the tank is long, or little over half(35-40 cm) but definetly not longer. So in reality I think the tank is only around 66 liters.
Oh, right. Baby corries to be born maybe tomorrow.

This time I might get lucky and get 6 for me to raise, and one or two in the tank. I had 3 to raise, but one slipped to the main tank as I accidentally tippen the box too much when I was changing the water. >_< Luckily it was the oldest one(2-3 weeks old), so I think it was big enough not to be eaten by the tetras and able to find food to eat(it had little tiny whiskers and it was so cute acting all cory like already). I still have the 2 that are from the batch after the escaped one.
Can we pretend that the airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now...

so I can put him in a semi high place thats stable for that tank making it so my cat(s) cant get him or I could leave him in that tank and keep my door closed ^^

Yay, 5 baby corries hatched yesterday(plus one or more that I didn't remove from the big tank).

Biggest batch of fry so far. Though one didn't hatch for some reason even though the egg looked like it would...

So now I have total 7 babies in my care, and maybe one 3 week old fry in the big tank(it was sneaky fast and escaped while I changed the water in their small tub).
Can we pretend that the airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now...
