That is 18 U.S. gallons, so you would be okay to add about 10. I wouldn't add too many, but Guppies and Danios produce very little waste, so pollution isn't a big issue.

The one inch of fish per gallon rule shouldn't even be used as a guideline. You will know when your tank is crowded. Common sense will tell you when you have a problem. To avoid babies, make sure you get all males. If you try getting all females, you run the risk of getting pregnant fish. If you want babies, many Guppies will be eaten by the parents and the Danios. Good luck!

With our standards you have a 20 gallon tank on your hands
you could put at least 2 males and 6 females in there, or if you don't want them to breed, you can put about 10 males in there, they are extremly colorful and they DON'T fight with each other
And danios are schooling fish anyway, so they won't bother any other fish


Hope that helps
Good luck

The general answer here is 1" of fish for every gallon of water. But, this is just a guideline. As long as you keep your water quality up by doing weekly water changes you won't have a problem if you go over this. You should know by looking when your tank is over crowded. Just remember that Guppies are prolific breeders. So amke sure you save some room in your tank for babies.
