The standard stocking for freshwater fish is no more than 1 inch of fish per gallon. So the smaller the fish, the more you can stock in. Also think of what type of fish you are putting in. Mixing up your levels of fish will help keep overcrowding down. Add a mix of top level (angelfish), middle level (tetras, danios) and bottom dwellers (plecos, corys).

Depends on the type of fish.
You want to stock by levels. For example, tetras tend to use the middle of the tank, and corydoras use the bottom. You could not put more than 10 tetras in there, or more than 6 corydoras. But you could keep both the 10 tetras and the 6 cordydoras, if you know what I mean.
As I say, stock the top (say, one dwarf gourami), the middle (a school of tetras, or danios, or rasboras) and the bottom (a school of corydoras)
