Sounds a bit too crowded for that many fish and such a small tank.



Love generously,

Care deeply,

Speak kindly.......

1 inch of fish per gallon, so even if they are guppies you need at least a 30 gallon tank.

Ruffian is correct, rule of thumb for a fish tank is always 1" of fish per 1 gallon of water.

We have a 140 gallon predator tank with a 5" black arrowana, 3 Florida Spotted Gars (1 is 6" and the other 2 are 9"), 5" Odoe African Pike, 4" Peacock Bass, 4" Svenii Pike Cichlid, and a 4" Siamese Gold Tiger Datnoid. And we still need to upgrade to a bigger tank in about a year.

Here is a pic of our current tank

Adding on to that rule of thumb, goldfish usually require about 1" per 2 gals. due to their high waste output and it's usually recommended for African cichlids to give them 1" per 5 gals. due to their territorial tendencies.

However, many stores, fish breeders and keepers, and hobbyists threw out the whole inch per gallon rule back in the 1980s because there are too many variables. Ex. A 10 gallon tank could easily hold 10 x 1" Neon Tetras but not 1 x 10" Oscar.

No you can't because it is to small and one of the fish might have a disease and then they all can have disease so you need to get a bigger fish tank

It's really too many fish in your tank. I suggest you to buy (if you can) bigger fish tank. Its also more easy to care for bigger tank. Wish you good luck.
