The general rule for stocking a fish tank is 1 inch of fish per gallon of aquarium water.
an aquarium or a fish tank
If the fish is a coldwater species like a Goldfish it should really be in a pond. If the fish is tropical then it should be in an Aquarium. The size of the aquarium depends on the size and quantity of fish you wish to keep. The basic rule for keeping any fish healthy is "1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water , a cycled filter running full time and a 50% water change every week."
The size of the cage depends on the number of mice you plan on keeping in the cage. If you are housing one to three mice, it is suggested that you use a ten gallon aquarium with wire cover. Four to five mice should have a fifteen gallon aquarium and five to six should have a twenty gallon aquarium.
The temperature of the water depends on the type of life/fish you intend to keep in the aquarium.
of course, but only keep one male in there at a time unless you have a divider. They say a one-gallon is big enough but my personal opinion is a 5+
In a marine REEF aquarium nitrates should be kept as close to 0 ppm as possible. In a fish only marine aquarium you should strive to keep your nitrates below 20 ppm.

A ten gallon aquarium is definitely too small for piranha. Piranha grow to about 8 inches in length, can be active and jumpey swimmers, and produce a lot of waste. All of these factors make it not suitable to keep them in anything less than a 90 gallon aquarium.

The Jewel Vision 260 Aquarium is suitable for keeping one Siamese Fighting Fish. One can also keep other tropical, marine and coldwater fish in this aquarium.
A betta fish would be much more suited to a 1 gallon tank than a 'variety'. You shouldn't keep much more than one fish per gallon anyway.
