Working Principle

This calculator helps you estimate the number of fish that can be safely kept in a freshwater aquarium based on the volume of water. Overcrowding can lead to poor water quality and health problems for the fish.

The calculator uses the following guidelines:

  • Tropical Fish: 1 fish per 5 gallons of water.
  • Coldwater Fish: 1 fish per 10 gallons of water.
  • Goldfish: 1 fish per 20 gallons of water.

These are general guidelines and actual needs may vary based on the specific species and size of the fish, as well as the efficiency of your filtration system.
