    Here are some helpful aquatic profiles.

    :!: Waiver
    This reference has been provided to give you a general idea of the recommended tank sizing requirement for each species, in addition to providing you with a general idea of their ADULT size.

    This in no way means that we are suggesting you go out and purchase every fish that is listed for the size tank that you have.

    As a GENERAL rule you can put 1" of fish (At Their Adult Size) per 2 gallons of water.

    IF you have stocking questions for your tank, Please ask and we will be happy to assist you ;)
