    It depends on the type and size of fish.  If goldfish, then 1 inch (from tip of mouth to beginning of tale) per 5 gallon tank.  If fresh water tropical then 1 inch of fish per 1 gallon tank.  However, with fresh water tropical, this is based on them being a 'thin' fish.  If then are a 'thicker' fish, like a clown loach or a catfish, then it's somewhere in between the goldfish and tropical fish rating.

      I wouldn't try more than three of any kind because if they breed than you won't have room. It will be to crowded
