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?

How does this information benefit the customer, the fish, the employer, and you?

So, How many fish can you fit in a tank?
