How Many Inches Have You Got?

We are talking about here is freshwater tropical fish, keep your mind Clean!

The often-quoted rule of thumb is one inch per gallon - but this is really a great difference to the world of large red and round it quotes - as the common will only apply to certain types of small fish really friendly to the regular The size and nature.

In other words, for example, for beginners (once the water chemistry is right) and 20 gallons in the tank itself might be 6 neon tetra, two mollies, 2 two platys, 4 guppies, and a small PUREKO. But it will not work in two disk platters of fish, two Oscars and four small Lake Malawi cichlids ...

This is how large the problem is not the only one. It has to do the chemistry of food and water requirements, species invasion, aeration, water and other species ability to understand the kind of work, quality filtration and many other obscure reasons.

Congestion when the fish show a pattern of stress result in:

      * Continuous hiding fish / missing feeding time
      * Colored poor
      * Fin formation inappropriate

And the most important thing is to gradually lose resistance to disease as a result of their inherent to significantly shorten life.

The real world, the group, such as fish and fish have not yet decided on other species or individual is the fish will relocate to safer areas can be resolved down and get in the way .

To the sizing of the tank and hope to maintain the species - to make a hardened hearts, fish, May 1 year or two from the tank's desire to re-locate to another part, and the total calculated by Must take account. .

Some recommendations of literature to change the water for maintenance on many plants to increase the number of fish in the tank can take.

This is Rubbish!
To change the water's not doing a very bad to very conservative government and some plants to lower the number of fish can be maintained. Nothing can increase the maximum number of tanks need ...

In my experience, slowly and gradually add the fish, if they are to the group, happy and healthy fish - the storage tank and the safety of the population to bring about the maximum load is complete before 6 months.
