Would a 10 gal be ok for guppies2007-11-24 23:44:32

I may be purcahsing a 10 gal soon, so is that an appropriate size for guppies? How many guppy sized fish could I fit in a 10 gal? Like how many max? I want to go for as many as possilbe :)

Answers:

How many fish you'd like to keep depend on how often you want to clean the tank.

15 guppies in a 10 Gal would require weekly water changes to keep conditions good.

I keep up to six guppies in my 10 Gal, and I can get away with monthly water changes.

Depends on your filter, but 15 fish is around what i usually keep in a tank that size.

sure as long as you don't put too many in. Like no more then 4.

Recommend one gallon of water per 2 inches of fish. And start the aquarium & filter about a week before you get the fish.

Used to work at pet store.

Yes thats fine, you can actually have quit a few in that size tank

Heck yes. They do not need loads of room. However, remember not to fill the tank too high to the top. They can be jumpers. I had a male who was separated from his mate just before she had her babies, and he jumped ship and died. Oh well, Mom had probably 10-15 babies to replace him! Also, make sure you separate babies from their parents as they tend to eat the little guys while they are young.

Sure that would be fine as long as you maintain/change the water weekly. You can have 50 fish or so if they are small, maybe 1/2 that if they are long fan tails. Too many fish and the tails get damaged.
