How many ADF in a 10 gallon?

[dixaisy930]

Just pondering a tank with just ADF's....maybe a betta, or platy, just for some top level movement, though. How many ADF's could I house in a 10 gallon?

Or, I was thinking about getting an ACF (one of my LFS has albino ones....so ugly they're cute) But I wasn't sure if a 10 gallon would be big enough for one or not (and no fish with him, though).

A ten gallon is the minimum space requirement for one ACF, so you could get one for your tank (just don't put any ADF's in there, too! ). I'm not sure how many ADF's you could house in it; they get about 1 1/2 inches long when full grown, so just figure on how much space you would need for a 1 1/2 inch fish.

on a different forum i read that they need about two gallons per ADF so i'd go with 5 or 6

I keep 2 ACF in a 20gallon setup, and there doing just fine

I have 3 in a one gallon at the moment doing fine. I'm putting them into a 2.5 gallon set up soon though. They don't need that much space, they're social animals so really don't need much space for territory, just clean water.
