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...

I imagine he meant 1 fish-inch per gallon. I have exceeded this
measure with no problems. Frequent partial water changes over come
many problems in my opinion.

I will toss in my 2 pennies in agreement with the others. Give the fish a
few days to become accustomed to the tank before you worry about them
behaviorally. Also, since clowns eventually reach a foot long or more,
your
20 gal tank is no more than a temporary home, and with the other fish in
that tank, it's already pretty overstocked in my opinion. Test your water
frequently and watch for trouble.

I definitly agree it looks overstocked. But on one of my previous
posts/questions I was told 1 fish per gallon of water. I figured the Neon
Tetras being so small wouldnt be a problem. I already knew about the
Loaches, temporary. It was suggested in this group that I put the loaches
in
the tank, let them clean up the snails and possibly the fish store would
buy
them back or I could sell them.
