How much

How many inches would you put in a 20L gallon?

How many inches of fish? If so, it is generally one inch of fish per gallon so 20 inches.

Except not many people go by that rule.

Try the aquarium calculators in the pinned topic. Because it's a longer tank, there's more surface area for gas exchange and you can get more fish.

Personally, I can put roughly 28" in my 15 gallon, because of the surface area and the larger filter. It works out well, and I've only seen a slightly higher level of ammonia once, due to being late with a tank cleaning because of a paper that was due.

I don't follow the one inch per gallon rule either. I usually just understock. I buy a couple of fish and see if they get along, if they do, I keep it that way. Sometimes adding a neon or two to my shoal.

20L gallons?

Is that litres or gallons?

On small tanks the inch per gallon 'rule' doesn't work at all, and depends on what species of fish as well. *shrugs*

If its gallons... well I've got about 15 fish in there. Mostly small, but there's one angel. I think the one inch per fish rule is for very very rough guidance.
