I want to know how many gallon (or liter) needed to keep around 20 Zebra Danios ?

Hello,   My suggestion is Betta fish, they're very hardy (or maybe the most hardy) fish. Very good for first timer You can keep female together, but male can only keep in alone   What size of your tank ?

  Here, online store only sell expensive kind of fish like arowana or discus...

    Unfortunately there's not much fish selection in the market here. Every seller usually sell same kind of fish at the same time. The red glofish danios have become trend in the today's market since it already enter indonesian market. I consider to buy some, but my biggest tank is about 15...

  Correction, it is starfire red glofish, I think they're also zebra danios ?   the tank ist 600X295X360mm   I have them in seperate tank, I want to join them in single community tank. I won't add betta because I prefer high current tank with powerhead.

I have est 15 gallon tank, is it sufficient enough to keep 20 zebra danios, 3 cory and a rainbow shark ?

  I do 50% water change everyday, maybe I'll do it for two weeks to make sure the tank are properly cycled

  Yes it is !!     Equipment are hard to find here, and expensive... I never do the cycle properly because lack of test kit available, I do fish in cycle with 50% water change for approximately two weeks.

  I realized that some goldfish pallet have color enhancer added, does it have affect the fish ?

It's ok without filtration, but water changes must be apply. But with filtration is better. Myself have keep betta since childhood and never do it without filtration, they can live until 4 years

I hope you don't mind but I did make an assumption as to your use of language so I hope I didn't offend.     It's fine, I didn't feel offended though :) Thx for the info and advices btw

  Although the won't thrive in as well as the wild betta, I'm pretty sure their hardiness comes from their gene. Some mammal can adapt direct sunlight, some are don't, and some can't event exposed by them. I think it same goes with fishes, some can bear certain water condition

  Yes, they'll live for years, I know that in asia the way of fishkeeping are slightly different. This is how we kept bettas. Myself is amazed at the first time when I join this forum and know about betta keeping outside asia. Here, the betta is not kept in aquarium, they kept in container and...

The Kuhli Loach and Rainbow Shark are from indonesia too

  Most of tropical fishkeeper in indonesia do not use heater too, Myself never use it for my aquariums.   I think we have the same issue in indonesia, the LFS rarely sell test kit, when it is available, it'll be super expensive   The first picture is peacock bass, the second I'm not quite sure...
