Ok, so we all know the rule, 1in of fish per gallon(except goldfish)
So how do you truly calculate that, with 3 in of substrate, and a moderately planted 55 g tank. How do I figure out how many is too many? Do plants take away from the inch per gallon?
Right now I have 4 boesmani, 2 turquoise, 2 banded Rainbows. If I figure for their adult size it's about 26 inches of adult fish.
I would like to add 2 Red Irian and 2 Praecox rainbows, along with a Bristlenose Pleco. Is that okay?
Thanks, I am many weeks from adding anything, tank just got gravel and hard scape. I am going to slowly move my current Rainbows in, then use my old tank as a quarateen tank for new purchases.
