Appologies in advance for the looong message, just trying to space it out so that it makes more sense.
What I already have x3 total:
x2 Comet Goldfish & x1 Danio (Unsure which type)
What I am "considering" getting:
X1 Male Betta (Maybe?)
X1 Set Group Fish chosen from directly below: (Set Group = 5 or more of one chosen type)
Zebra Danios (Add to whichever is the individual small one I already have)
OR Cherry Barbs OR Harlequin Rasboras OR Rainbowfish
X2 Platies,;
x2 Guppies;
X1 Pleco Catfish – Or other “smaller” variety of low level fish that eats algea
X1-2 Dwarf Gourami;
Total = 11-16 Fish (Includes Pre-Existing x3 Fish)
Actually I was considering getting a group of GloFish but you guys say they’re tacky? Can anyone say why they are seen as tacky, is it the colours??
Also I initially wanted x1 Betta and x1 Dward Gourami – somewhere online someone wrote they would get along?
Basically my brain is no good at maths and I have only had fish since about August last year, so even though I have read the notes about calculating how many fish I am still confused…
Does this look about right below? Number of fish Calculate 90 Litre Tank;
1 Gallon = 3.78 Litres
90 litres Divide 3.78 = 23.81 Gallon or approx 23.1 Gallon???
1inch fish for each gallon = (23.1 divide 2 inch approx = 9-12 fish???)
Questions;
1. Maybe it’s meant to be more simple, am I just confusing myself unnecessarily?
2. Do you average out the adult sizes or should it be literally per exact inch?
3. I was planning on eventually choosing only about approximately 11-13 fish, including the small group of
about 5 small zippy fish like the Danio’s… What does everyone think? Would that be way too many??
If so, please give me your opinions on better calculation or which of the listed fish I am considering might
be more interesting or would get along best so I can choose lower number of fish??
I want to make sure I don't over crowd the tank but unfortunately I am not very practical person and can go way overboard sometimes if I am not careful... Since they are living creatures I don't want them to die etc from being too crowded in there....
I'll cut back on as many as necessary but my hubby does want a group of lil ones for some reason... hehe
That would cut down on options for how many fish to fit though yeah?
