Best Answer

The general rule of thumb to allow a proper exchange of gasses with the air is 6 square inches of surface area per 1 inch of fish. The minimum volume of water required for 1 inch of fish is 1 gallon. So a 10 inch fish should have at least 10 gallons of water (not a nominal10 gal tank) and a surface area of no less than 60sq ins.
