15 gallon fish tank?

Question

whats the maximun amount of fish i can have in a 15 gallon fish tank?

Answer 1

Depends on a few factors:

- the kind of filter set-up you have in the tank

- the adult potential size of the fish

- if you are planning on getting live-bearers or egg-layers

- the bio-load of the fish

For a smaller tank like this- I recommend small non-live bearers.  Many tetras are colorful, interesting, stay small, and hardy, and long-lived.

Good luck with your tank!

Answer 2

Well, it really all depends on what type of fish you want to buy. Generally the rule of thumb is 1 gallon for every 1 inch of fish. So if you want livebearers, you could have 15 (they are about 1 inch). If you want small tetras, then 30 (they are half an inch). If you want oscars, then buy a bigger tank! But if you are a beginner, then around 10-15 inch long fish should be safe. Hope this helped!

Answer 3

Depends on the fish. If it is small, 1-2 inches long per fish, you may store about 20. If it grows to 6 inches in length, you may only store one pair. Fishes grow to 10 inches in length needs a bigger tank from 29 gallons to 30 gallons per fish, but you may still try.

Answer 4

it really depends on the fish if it is neon tetras you can put 20 if they are 1-2 inches maybe 15 the other fish 3 inches and up have to apply to the rule one inch of fish per gallon
