How many fish should I put in a hundred gallon tank?

Question

I have a small tank, but want a bigger one, would like 3 clown loaches and 2 coreys. I know they need room to play and can grow. What else could I put in there that will not overcrowd. I have a variety of tetras now, but want something different that will be compatible with the clowns/coreys, would 4 more fish be too much?

Answer 1

Well every fish needs a gallon for every inch it will grow. For example a platty will get around 2 inches when it is full grown. that means you have 98 more gallons to have for every other fish. I have a relatively small tank too so I would suggest Plattys, Mollys, Guppies, and angel fish. These are all community fish and are small so you can get allot of them. They are also very beautiful. I would stay away from Gormies though.

Answer 2

you can easily have a small school of clown loaches, 3-4 schools of different corys and have plenty more room for other fish. I would suggest medium to larger tetras, such as the congo tetra, again in a small school. You could include 2-4 schools of 6 in that general size range very easily.

Answer 3

100 gallons the small one?

Clown loaches need alittle larger, but they also like to school, so get more CLs for a big school.

Corys are small and they also like to school.

For a 100 gallon you can go with a school of each species.

Answer 4

One inch of fish per gallon of tank, except goldfish cause they are pigs who don't clean up after them selves

Answer 5

Oh defintely. you can put more.. I would suggest a red tail and some schooling tiger barbs. A 100 gallon has alot of space.
Just be creative with it.

Answer 6
