What number of glow fish can I keep in a tank?

Answer by  eniram (63)

Glow fish are a community fish, that is they like to school in groups. The number of fish that should be kept in a tank depend on a number of factors including the tanks size, the filtration system being used, and the type of food you're feeding them. You can safely house 10-14 in a common 10 gallon tank.

The number of fish that you can keep in a specific tank depends on the size of the fish, the size of the tank, and the quality of your filtration system. For example: in a ten gallon tank with good filtration I would keep no more than 15 small fish.

That depends on the size of your tank. The rule of thumb is a maximum of 1 inch of fish per 1 gallon tank water. Glofish grow to be 2+inches-- so generally, 10 gallon=5 glofish, 20 gallon=10glofish, etc. However, it's very important to introduce new fish to your tank slowly, 2 or 3 fish at a time.

It honestly depends on how large your tank is. In the freshwater aquariums there is a rule that you can have 1 inch per 1 gallon of water in your tank. Now those fish can get to be 1.5 inches to roughly 2 inches. Meaning in a 20 gallon tank, you can keep about 10 of those fish.

Freshwater tanks can hold one inch of fish per 1 gallon safely. However you can hold much more by increasing filtration (like putting a 50gal filter on your ten). Also live plants help keep more fish. Get an air stone and air pump to keep even more.

General rule is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. I'd prefer you keep no glow fish. They are genetically modified just to be pretty and sold to people.
