7 is considered a lucky number
8 is the number of this year and also as per the chinese zodiac for this year
9 is the number of prosperity and water (aquarium indirectly) is a carrier of chi force, which brings prosperity..

You should consider the size of your tank and the adult size and behavior of the type of fish you want to keep as well.
Going with the number 7, you could get seven of any of the types of schooling fish (tetras, barbs, danios, etc. that need others of their own kind) and they will be fine with the others as company, but 7 of a territorial species like male bettas and flowerhorns may not be such a good idea, as you might get down to just one or a mated pair fairly quickly! Also, if you have a 20 gallon tank, there's a big difference in keeping 7 neon tetras (at just over 1 inch) and 7 goldfish or clown loaches which can top a foot each.
Here's a website where you can review photos, adult sizes, and territorial/aggressive/schooling behavior for quite a few coldwater and tropical species: http://www.elmersaquarium.com/000tropfishcareguides.htm
ADDITION: The inch per gallon rule hardly ever applys to fish larger than a neon tetra - you can't keep a 10 inch oscar in a 10 gallon tank (let alone 2 in one gallon!). There are considerations of filtration, waste production, commitment of the owner to regular cleaning and water changes, tank shape, and more that factor into how many fish can be kept.

Well that depends on the aquarium you have and what fish you are looking to purchase. To have a basic concept as we say in the pet store i work at Two fish Per Gallon. This is not exactly correct because fish come in so many sizes and have different aggression levels but like i said basic. here is an example. You get Blue neon's they are really small so about five can go with gallon rule plus you must have at least five for they are a schooling fish. As to say an Angel who will need around five gallons to his self because of his size and aggression towards other fish. Hope that helps!

The general rule of thumb is one inch of fish per gallon. eg 10 gal aquarium= 10 one-inch fish or 2 five-inch fish.

In Oriental thinking the perfect number of fish is 7 and one of them should be black.

1 inch of fish length per gallon is the safe rule of thumb.
