Hi Sam,
There is no “rule”, whether it’s 1″ per gallon or 2 gallons per fish that works… except for slim-bodied fish that stay under 3″ as full grown adults. For example, a 10″ Oscar certainly can’t be kept in 2 gallons of water, nor will 10 gallons of water be sufficient…. more like […]

I saw in another of your posts that you may have a UGF. Have you been doing proper maintenance and cleaning on it? See my reply to your other post.
What are your water parameter […]
