Follow the 1" of fish per gallon rule. Don't forget to cycle your tank first though.!

Every inch your adult fish are, they need a gallon of water.

That's an important step, so you can research them and find out how big they get. Good Luck!

That "rule" isn't really a rule, just a guideline that is only useful for the smallest of fish species. For example, you can't put a 10 inch Oscar in a 10 gallon tank.

Also, bella!!!!! and Nessie!!! are one and the same person - dispensing questionable advice. I guess they like talking to themselves. Sheesh. They've been banned.

Wow did not see that coming, is bella nessies alter ego or is it the other way around. i agree with the sketchy advice thing, nessie had a go at me after a recommended that she cycles her tank longer than a week
