How many fishes you can keep in a tank depends on many factors, such as the tank's water volume, type of filtration used, type of feeds, frequency of feeding, and of course, the size of the fishes. The best way to determine is therefore to check your water parameters yourself becoz your setup is unique. Add your stock until you find a stock level where you will be spending too much time changing water instead of enjoying the fishes.

no lah...
the rule of thumb is 10 gallon = 1 fish...
but most of us dun....
depends on the size of your ranchu..
3 ft maybe keep 6 fish(3 inch)??
its best not to overcrowd....let them have more swimming space so they can grow...

Just add 5 more R/W Oranda into my tank.
Size abt 1.5inch each, very cute.
Trying to take picture of them, but all turn out like small little fireball...blur blur and orange/red in color.
