Important Notes

  • The fish density provided is a general guideline and may need to be adjusted based on the specific needs of your fish and the size of your tank.
  • Overstocking a tank can lead to poor water quality and stress for the fish. It is always better to err on the side of caution and keep fewer fish than the maximum capacity suggests.
  • Consider the space requirements of your fish, as well as any equipment or decorations in the tank, when determining the appropriate number of fish.
