Best Answer

You could probably keep a school of a dozen Exodon Paradoxus in a 40 gallon, as long as they are kept well fed, with a riverine environment, and no other species of fish in the tank.

Be prepared for a lot of work, but some enjoyable feeding sessions.

Can you keep one bucktooth tetra in a 5 gallon tank?

The Bucktooth Tetra (Exodon paradoxus) grows to around 4.5 or 5 inches. A set up 5 gallon (nominal) tank would only hold a maximum of 4 gallons. (No water in the top 1inch and water displaced by gravel substrate at bottom). So using the basic Aquarists rule of "1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water". Even pushing the limits, the tank is not big enough to house a Bucktooth tetra. The recommended tank size for them is around 30 Gallons.

Can you fit 4 fish in one gallon fish bowl measuring 12 by 12 inches?

It may be possible to keep 4 small fish in a one gallon fish bowl, depending on the type, size and needs of the fish you choose. It will also depend on whether or not the fish bowl has a filter, and if your fish can live without a heater. For example, because they do not get large, 4 white cloud minnows can be kept in a one gallon bowl with a filter and they do not require a heater. You can also keep a male beta or Siamese fighting fish with a few white cloud minnows; or 2 small goldfish which can grow too large or the bowl.
