There is no hard rule to the number of fish. It will depend on the size and types of fish that you place in the tank. Do you have any ideas on what you want to put in the tank? This would be a good place to start.
What kind of fish? What kind of filtration (ie, skimmer, # of rock, powerheads, etc)? What kind of maintenance?
If you want medium fish, no bigger than 4-5 inches, you could easily put in 3-4. Or, one bigger fish. Or 6-7 smaller fish. Or 4-5 smaller fish, and one that's 5-6 inches. Several options, but we can't really help without knowing the answers to the above questions.
