Are there any websites that tell how many gallons each kind of fish needs? I keep reading that the 1 inch per gallon doesn't work. So what does? How am I supposed to know the amount of gallons per fish?
websites?

tell us what fish you have in mind then we can help you. There are too many factors to make blanket statements.
There are many things that go into making that decision, and there really aren't any guidelines that are all inclusive.
Factors that need to be taken into consideration are...
Tank Size
Amount of Filtration
Mature Size of the Fish
Dietary Needs
Male/Female Ratio
Agressive Tendencies
Spawning Habits
Schooling Issues
Water Quality
Free Swimming Space
Aqua Scape
Biological Load of Species
You have the ability that many before have not had, this site. So many of us had to learn by trial and error, at the expense of the fish.
Post what you are considering, here, and you will get solid recommendations. HTH.
