1 fish per gallon of water?!

I don't know who told you that, but I wouldn't take it. What kind
of fish?
1 adult Oscar in 1 gallon of water? What about an Arawana, Bala
Shark?
Tetra's may be a different story, but still...


It's not a hard rule, just a guideline. Many fish would not tolerate
such conditions, such as large fish, or very aggressive fish. There
are no hard rules in aquaria, give me one, and I'm sure I could find
someone who has broken the rule and had good results. g

I agree, one size does not fit all. I like answers in the newsgroups
as they most often are real experience rather than a generalization.
