asked • 05/05/21The aquarium has 275 fish available to put in the tank. Is this the right number of fish for the tank?
The best average density for the species of fish that will go in the tank is 16 fish per 100 gallons of water. This provides enough room for the fish to swim while making sure that there are plenty of fish for people to see.
