How many fish can your ten gallon tank support?

The number of fish that a 10-gallon tank can support depends on several factors, including the size and species of the fish, as well as the filtration and aeration of the tank. As a general rule, it is recommended to keep no more than one inch of fish per gallon of water. This means that a 10-gallon tank could support up to 10 inches of fish. However, it is important to note that some fish, such as goldfish, require more space than others. For example, a single goldfish may need up to 20 gallons of water. Additionally, the filtration and aeration of the tank must be able to handle the bioload of the fish, which is the amount of waste they produce. If the filtration and aeration are not sufficient, the water quality will deteriorate and the fish will become stressed and susceptible to disease.

Here are some specific examples of fish that could be kept in a 10-gallon tank:

- 6 Neon tetras

- 6 Zebra danios

- 10 White cloud mountain minnows

- 1 Betta fish

- 2 Dwarf gouramis

- 4 Platys

- 4 Swordtails

It is important to do research on the specific fish that you are interested in keeping to determine the proper number for your tank.
