Which is the best tank and why?

Adult size of fishThe measurement for adult size of a fish is in inches (“)

Adult size 2”

Customer question:How many fish can I put in a tank?Depends on the size tank1” of fish for every 5 gallons of water (When

have we used ratio’s before?) What size tank would you need for a fish that

grows to be 5”?Whatever size tank you have / 5 = INCHES

of fish

So how many 3” fish can I put in a 10 gallon aquarium?

How many 4” fish can I put in a 20 gallon aquarium

CalculationsMultiply the adult size of fish x 5 (5 gallons of

water for every inch) = tank size you need

Divide the size of the tank by 5 = Inches of fish you can get:

10gal tank / 5 = 2” fish50gal tank / 5 = 10” fish

Then divide that answer by the size of fish you want to get.

What if the customer had a 60gal aquarium?Calculate how many 5” fish can fit.

Calculate how many 10” fish can fit.

Create a combination of 5” and 10” fish that will fit.

QuestionsHow can we educate the customer so that the

fish that they purchase have the proper care?
