Convert Gallons To Litres?

Hey there,

i'm totaly new to this tropical fish hobby and am a little confused about gallons. i'm from New Zealand so i'm use to reading letres. can you please explane how many gallons there are to a letre.

could you also please explane the meanings of herbivores and all those sort of words you use for each fish?

cheers,
Adz.

 

Yeah I had the same problem as I'm from Australia and a gallon is 4.5461 litres. You can get a conversion on this site on the Conversions link. https://www.fishlore.com/ConversionCalculator.htm.
Herbivore is an organism that eats vegetation-plants/leaves etc..

 

where abouts in new zealand are you from? I'm going to martinborough for a year in january. a whole year of summer!!! ;D

you've had your tank for a while then lol

I've only just had my tank going for bout 3 weeks, so i've got 6 Zebra danio's but i'm soo tempted to get more of them.
I love watching them swim in their schools.

Petrol isn't that cheap over here. where bouts are you on the globe? how much is petrol there?

 

I'm from Corwall in England. I heard it was dead cheap over your way. I'm paying 89 pence litre at the moment which is about 2.28 NZD. so have I got my hopes up on that then? how much is it?

 

you'l enjoy your holiday here then, its $1.40 here ;D

 

Ours is $1.20 in Australia and I got:
2 Lyretail Swordtails (1male 1female)
1 Reg. Swordtail
2 Guppies (1m 1f)
1 Cory Sterbai
1 Red-tail Shark
2 Dwarf Gourami
2 Anglefish
1 Chinese algae eater
1 Bristlenose catfish
1 Synodontis Eurptus (Feather fin Catfish)
6 Neon tetrasl

 

ouch. that's cheap. weve got it bad here then!! what's a cory sterbai? is that a corydoras species?

 

Right! Who's up for mass emigration to NZ then? I'll be going there one day - just gotta get over my addiction to visiting south africa :-\ I've made a breakthrough though - I'm going to Canada this year instead Woohoo!

 

that's a good idea! I'm getting a house here and one somewhere in wairarupa so hopefully if I go back and forwards every six months I'll have an eternal summer!!!! ;D

 

Good Thinking!!

If you do make it to christchurch let me know

 

Bundle over to Fletch's house then! Got any space in your suitcase? I'm a bit bored of this eternal rain... I'm all bundled up in my winter clothes with heating on and it's meant to be summer!! :'(

 

You should all head down to cornwall then. its tropical down here (well its **** it today).

 

I mean is it just me fletch! is winter comin early its freezin over here in NI!!! :'(

 

Defo bundle down Fletch's house then! ;D Lucky thing... its very cold in Norwich tonight :-\

 

Fletch's house it is then, its winter here too :-\

 

wow, the subject really changed in here! alll welcome as long as I can get a free ride back in adz suitcase. It would save me a lot of money for a visa

 

sounds good, i'l just wear the suit, that way there will be room in the case for ya
