Aquarium Advice Freak
i understand that for one gallon of water you can have one inch of fish.. so for 55gallons you can have ~55 inches of fish or so...
but my question is how do I know when a fish is too big for the current aquarium -- I notice a lot of overcrowding in fishstores (thats to be expected I guess and I can't really get a straight answer out of them) where fish can barely swim in a straight line. I mean would I have to notice signs of stress? Would I have to notice that he can't turn? Or would it just be totally dependent on the fish itself?
Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie question..
