Glo-fish?

1" per gallon is not even a starting point. To work, it requires that biomass increases with length - that a 1" fish weighs half as much as a 2" fish of the same shape. It doesn't; it weighs only 1/8th as much.

Yeah, can you imagine a 10 inch Pacu in a 10 gallon tank? Two five inch? Or, three 3.333 inch ones?

i would go 6 in a 10 gallon tank and they will be the only inhabitants of that tank...with limited large decorations...few plants here and there and a piece of drift wood, cave or some sort of decoration that they might be able to hide in/around.

the limited decorations will take up less space in your tank and allow you to have more room for them to swim.
 
I don't have anything else in the 10g tank. My plan was since I never seen these fish was to buy some and house in the 10g tank then when spring comes I can move them into my 37g long tank with other fish. I have to wait till spring to transfer because I have a turtle in there now that would eat them.

So would a 10g be ok for now or will that cause alot of stress on them that will lead to death? Since there's nothing else in the 10g should I stick with 6 still?
 
It depends though, I had 6 in a 10 gallon before and all they did is fight and fin nip like crazy. Never had any problems once they went into the 55.
