Depnding on what type of fish.. My Af Cic's I go about an inch to every US
gallon.. My GF and Koi I try to stick with 1 inch to every 2 US gallon..
Unfortunantly since my fish have growen quite a bit I find myself about 80
inch of fish in both 55 USG tanks.. The GF and Koi are signifigantly over
filtered ( I believe I am closeing into enough filtration for a 250 G on the
55g for the koi and gf...)

Always used to be 1 inch of fish, excluding tail, to 24sq in or surface.
Probably reduce that for aerated water.

Have things changed?

Is there a rule of thumb for the amount of fish in a tank?
i.e.Total length of fish per volume of tank - cm/lt or in/gal
