How many fish can you keep in a 55 gallon fish tank?

Answer 1

what kind of fish do you want you can put 90 guppies but if you want cool fish you can only get a couple fish you can get a oscar fish and 1-2 medium sized catfish Oscars are so cool they are soooooo big they uassaly get 12-14 inches! you can get a pearsei cichlid and 1-2 medium sized catfish male pearsei cichlid get about 17 inches and females get around 14 inches! I recamend you get 1 large american cichlid and 1-2 medium sized catfish.

10 gallon thinking about dawrf puffers

30 gallon 2x blood parrots 1 3 inch and 1 4 inch and lots of community fish

65 gallon 1x 6 inch pearsei chiclid and 1xcommon pleco

75 gallon 1x 14 inch oscar and 1x 14 inch common pleco and 1 x 8-10 inch asian upsidown catfish

I have a little over a year of fishkeeping expirence.

Answer 2

It will depend on the type of fish you are having. The larger and more aggressive the fish, the less you should put in. The smaller and more welcoming fish, the more you may put. About 65 typical sized and moody fish will fit in the tank (I've done the calculations).

Answer 3

The rule of thumb i this - 1 in. of fish per 1 gallon. So really, you shouldn't get past 5 1 in. fish. But I'm sure they'd be fine if you added some more. :) I would put some FEmale betta and some tetras. They are very colorful and beautiful.

Answer 4

You're never going to get a straight answer to this question! Because that depends on the type of fish you plan to keep. Some fish produce more waste than others. Now you can always go with the 1 inch of fish per gallon rule, but that's not always the best way to figure it out. For example in my 55 I have:

10 white clouds

15 harlequin rasboras

6 green corydoras

8 gold barbs

2 pairs of dwarf gouramis

and and assortment of live plants

Hope that helps.

Answer 5

depending on the species of fish is how many you can fit. the basic measurment is 1 gallon for every inch of the adult size. so you could have as many as 65 guppies or a few barbs and a shark fish. it all depends on what you prefer. goldfish are one galllon for every half inch.

Answer 6

It would depend on the kind and size o'fish you're talking about.

Answer 7

well i don't know the exact number of fish, but you should have about one gallon per inch of fish

Answer 8

around 53, but depends on the size of the fish.
