Marine When the two or three weeks cycling period is over, and the bacteria is ready for fish and invertebrates wastes, then it is time to choose a community of fishes for the tank. The following questions are often asked. How many fish can I add? Which fish are the most compatible? As a very conservative rule, you can add one fish 1 inch or less for every two gallons of water, but with the ultraviolet sterilizer and other sophisticated equipment, and some consideration for habitat requirements of the species you select, you have some latitude. The rule of 1-inch of fish/2 gal. of water is not infallible. The weight and volume of a fish increases between the second and third power of the length. That is, a 4-inch fish creates a biological load in a tank closer to 4 times that of the same fish 2 inches long. In short, you may be able to keep fewer larger fish than size alone would indicate. If you plan to stock a tank to its limits, proceed cautiously. If you try for the maximum number a tank can hold, remember to add one fish at a time after you have reached the conservative limit. The point at which you first get mortalities can be considered the maximum limit. The fish you choose depends upon a number of factors: the size of your aquarium, the type of tank you prefer (fish, invertebrate, or both), the area in which you 12.
