I am guessing you wish to know about fish stocking rates. Its very simple really. The bigger the fish the more water it needs. The way it works is, 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water, every tank needs a cycled filter and every tank also needs to have at least 50% of its water changed every week. So a Goldfish (grows to about 10 inches) would need a MINIMUM of 10 gallons of water. A 10 gallon tank is not big enough because tanks usually have some kind of substrate (gravel base) and are never filled to the brim. A nominal 10 gallon tank would only actually contain about 7 or 8 gallons of water.
