seriously, wouldn’t it be awesome if you filled a 5 gallon fish tank with goldfish (at this point I am talking about real goldfish) There would be a huge mass of goldness. I can’t say that these are TROPICAL fish but it sure would be awesome.

Question by funvonne: The number of tropical fish that an aquarium can hold depends on the volume of the fish tank. The interior dim?
The number of tropical fish that an aquarium can hold depends on the volume of the fish tank. The interior dimensions of the fish tank below are 29 cm, 41 cm, and 50 cm. Each fish requires 10,000 cubic centimeters of water. How many tropical fish will this fish tank hold?

Best answer:

Answer by Paul
Volume is length*width*height, so just multiply all three dimensions together.

29*41*50 = 59,450

Then divide by 10,000, which is how much room each fish needs, and you’ll find how many fish you can fit:

59450/10,000 = 5.945 fish

But you can’t have a fraction of a fish, so you must round down. There is not enough room for 6, so only 5 fit.

Hope this helps

Question by ihcuids: What are some easy tropical fish to use in a new 10 gallon aquarium?
I have a 10 gallon tank and would like to start a tropical fish tank, but I’ve only had goldfish before this. I know I have to let the tank go through a two week cycle before I put fish in it to build up the good bacteria and such, but I was wondering if there were some easy, but pretty and nice to keep, tropical fish to start out with.

Best answer:

Answer by Ryan N
There are some nice swordtails and platys you could start with. They come in a variety of colors and finnage. The breed easily though. Cardinal tetras also look amazing in a group, but I wouldn’t add those until your tank is stable for some time (about 6 months). Threadfin rainbows also looks nice in a group, but I would wait on those as well.

You best bet for a new tank would be a small group of danios. They are hardy and usually survive the cycle. Then once your tank is stable look for soem other fish to add like tetras.

The cycle won’t really complete until you have added fish to produce ammonia that the bacteria eats. So when you add fish add no more than 2 and test you water for a few weeks until the ammonia and nitrites peak and then go back to 0. Then add more fish slowly.
