How many fish should i put in a 15 gallon tank if they will all grow to be roughly 5 inches long?!

3
based on 1" per gallon

1 inch per gallon doesn't work for fish over 4 inches IMO What kind of fish do you want?

 

[bren2820]

only 3 fish?

i want Cichlids and some Guppys

 

[Dwarfs]

What kind(s) of cichlids? I think any kind would kill guppies Especially 5 inch cichlids

Guppies are fine but it is too small for chiclids and they will probably try to eat the guppies anyway,

well if any african fish that i put in there grew to be 5 inches....how many do you think i can fit in the 15g tank?

no 5 inch african cichlids would work in a 15 gal if you want my opinion. go for a bigger tank if you want the larger africans. otherwise, there are some nice smaller africans, shell dwellers from lake tang., taht would be okay in a 15 gallon. do a little research on them.

also, if there were posted in African Cichlids section, you'd get more response from african cichlid keepers

Still, they would kill the guppies

ok.....do you have any sites or pictures about the shell dwellers?!
