I'm trying to figure out how many fish per gallon I have in my 60 gallon tank. But I cant find out how big my balloon pearl gourami get, and my two balloon (I think????)-electric blue rams get? I've been doing research but I can't find an answer!

Thanks
 
Inch per gallon is an old school thought on how to stock a tank. There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration. What fish do you have? We can help you stock.

4 rummy nose
2 balloon rams
1 honey gourami
1 powder blue gourami

1 balloon pearl gourami
1 cherry barb

I'd say your stocked. You've got some territorial fish in there and some schools of fish that need filling.
The rummies need 6 but do better in larger numbers so I'd get 4 more to make 8.
I'd rehome the cherry barb. It needs a school but you don't have enough room for one.
The black skirts also need a school of 6.
So once correcting all that you tank is fully stocked.
 
Thanks! yea I wanted to get more rummies but I wasn't sure how much more space I had. I have a friend who has a 46 gallon but only has 4 fish in it. so maybe he could take the cherry barb. get him some lady friends. lol
