How many....?

I think the most that I have ever added to a new tank, was about 30 neon tetras in a 48 gallon Bowfront tank that I had purchased used at the time. They were the first set of fish that I had added once it was done cycling, and the way they were playing made me almost want to keep them as a species only tank.

My first fish tank had 9 fishes. It's usually believed that it's lucky to keep 9 fishes in a tank.

I had only two gold fishes in my first ever fish bowl when I was a kid.

I started with one goldfish in a fishbowl. Then I added another one to give it a company. When I got my first aquarium, I added over a dozen fish.

Currently, I have an overpopulated 5 gallon that I need to sort out. I have amano shrimp and fancy guppies in it. The pet store I got the guppies from gave me a female after I told them I only wanted males. I did not notice until she became pregnant and now I have probably 15 in there of all different sizes. I am trying to find someone to take the bulk of them.
