Fish Crazy
I haven't been using this method, but how does it sound for future reference? I'll use 1 dwarf gourami and three platies to demonstrate what I mean.
First, find the suggested tank size for the biggest fish in the tank. In this case, that's the dwarf gourami, which people suggest a 10 gallon minimum for.
Then, add the remaining fish by inch per gallon provided that your tank has big enough dimensions for the fish's size.
So that would be a minimum of about 15 gallons.
What do you guys think? If you look at anyone's tanks, they wouldn't give a 20 gallon to just two dwarf gouramis, even though the suggested size is 10 gal. per individual.
