Hey guys. So unfortunately i took the measurements and calculated that the tank we thought was a 30 gallon is instead a 25 gallon. Not a huge deal since she just wants the small community fish and was a good price anyways, but it makes things a bit tighter since she wants different kinds of fish and id prefer to keep them happy in schools. So i keep hearing the gallon per inch rule doesnt work well, but is it still ok for the smaller and skinny fish like guppies? Or what do you guys use? Ill provide some info on the tank and fish she is considering if somebody with some better knowledge could let me know a general idea for the amount we can stock.
25 gal (30"wide x 12"deep x 16"high) - Aquaclear 200 HOB filter, heated to 80*F atm, and air driven undergravel filter atm
We have guppies and will probably have around 6 in the end. She seemed to like some smaller tetras, and rasboras caught her eye. Stuff like that that are usually like 1.5" long. She would like 2 corries and has her mind set on an African dwarf frog.
