How many fish can go in a 38 gallon tank?

Answer 1

It realy depends on the fish. I have a 32 gallon and i have tropical fish in it. So for tropical fish it is generly 1-2 inches of fish per gallon. In mine i have 3 zebera dainos,3 platies,1 rainbow shark,1 femail beta,1 glow fish, 1 cherry barb,1 albino Cory cat and, a 4 inch sucker fish. i hope that explains your anser!

Answer 2

adult goldfish need about 200+ litres (55gal) when they are fully grown. it depends on what size they are at when you get them and if you are going to upgrade. i would say a maximum of 3 but you could also get fish like zebra danioes or white cloud mountain minnows. if you was wanting more than 3 goldfish you could go for orandas or fancy-goldfish. these have a different body shape which means that cant swim as fast so wont need as much space. just remember how big they can get. my largest oranda is about 18cm and normal gold fish is about 20cm.

hope this helps. george.

Answer 3

You should only keep 2 fancy goldfish in a 38 gallon tank. Typically you want to consider 20 gallons for the first goldfish, and 10 gallons for every additional goldfish. The reason for this is that goldfish produce a high amount of waste, and grow very large.

Answer 4

The length of the tank isn't really the final determining factor; the number of gallons is. The general rule is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water.
