How Many More Fish Can I Add?
 
Just started this cylinder tank yesterday and added my fish. They LOVEEEEE it and they're so happy that i was thinking of getting some more. But how many more could i fit?

The rule is usually 1 inch of fish for every gallon of water. But this is just a rule. Different fish need different amounts of space to begin. Example a clown can live in a tiny area but a tang needs big open space (4 foot length minimum) Research your fish choice and decide what works best

Good rule, but I think in this case, you can add fish until you can't see the background of the wall through the tank. Some large angels would be nice in there. And maybe some triggers.

maybe a nice large lion fish..... and then the fish can do the limbo as they pass his spines. that would be so much fun

I will say larger species of naso and acanthurus tangs.

I understand there's a new breed of mini great white shark available. GMO & cloning is where it's at!

Do they have lasers?? No lasers means deal breaker!

Also, you guys are all crazy! Clearly this tank is too small for that barnacle! Surprised no one has noticed are mentioned that! Please, be considerate and remove the barnacle.

Your joking right? I think you've been around long enough that you wouldn't ask that. I'm sure there isn't too many people who follow that rule that the first responder stated. That's a cool tank. How big is it? It's going to be hard to clean and take good pics of the livestock. For some reason I don't believe that's your tank. Haha

You don't believe that's my tank? I'm insulted!

Haha. Ok sorry. I can't spot your MP40 collection. Well the plants are cool and I like the large bubble air stone in there.
