Answer 2

With small livebearers like guppies, you can have 25 to 30 fish in a 29.

With medium livebearers like platies, mollies and swordtails, you can have 15 to 18.

Of course you will have a filter and heater in the tank, won't you? They are tropical fish and need a temp of 74-78 degrees.

Also, most livebearers do much better with some salt in their water. Use about a tablespoon for each 5 gallons of water. Table salt is OK to use even the iodized kind. The mollies are brackish water fish and need more salt than the others, about a teaspoon per gallon.

Do your regular (weekly) partial (25-30%) water changes and that will keep your fish healthy and happy. Remember to add more salt when you take water out and replace it with fresh but not when you just add water to make up for the evaporation, salt does not evaporate.

Once the tank is up and running, never change 100% of the water or you will lose all of the beneficial bacteria and you will have to cycle the tank in all over again (about 3 weeks to do this).

Depends on the size of the fish. Generally its one inch of fish per one gallon of water.
